This summer, the Alaska SeaLife Center gave a tiny sea otter pup a second chance at life after it was found stranded and alone on a Homer beach.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - This summer, the Alaska SeaLife Center gave a tiny sea otter pup a second chance at life. The three-month-old was discovered utterly alone and stranded on a Homer beach, “unusually far” from the water, according to officials with the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.
Caring for a baby sea otter is no small feat. That’s where a dedicated animal care team from Shedd Aquarium swiftly stepped in. Traveling all the way to Seward, they joined forces with the Alaska SeaLife Center, working tirelessly through overnight shifts to feed, groom, and provide essential support to the little one. Their expertise was crucial in helping the pup learn vital skills that a mother otter would typically teach.The SeaLife Center reported that the otter pup is now thriving, which the Shedd Aquarium credited to the support and dedication in tending to the young animal 24/7. The resilient little survivor is mastering vital skills, including holding its breath underwater and eating solid food, Shedd officials said. It’s a powerful testament to the compassion and hard work of everyone involved, showcasing how collaborative efforts can truly change a life.UPDATE: Man charged with murder in Anchorage double shooting, APD saysLarge police presence closes Clark Middle School ‘This is what we got to deal with!’: Keeping downtown Anchorage safe a challenge with hundreds of flood victims sheltering in city centerData center failure grounds Alaska Airlines flights, officials say Over 1,000 artifacts discovered at archaeological site eroded by flooding from Halong, archaeologists say
