  • Uni took a crack at oyster shucking.
    Because their metabolism is 2-3 times the rate of other mammals their size, sea otters needs to eat about 25% of their weight every day.

    AMAZING that the otters have learned to use their enclosure to break the shells, since they don't have small stones to hold on their chests. The on-the-back/over-the-head method is REALLY impressive (and cool looking!). Plus, those are some really big, meaty oysters!

      Sea otters are among the few animals known to use tools. I the wild, they will use rocks called anvils to crack open the shell of their prey, helping them access the meat inside.

    So cool! This is my first time seeing captive otters being given whole, unopened oysters. Usually just the meat is given in blocks of ice or they're provided clams that have already been opened. What wonderful enrichment.

      They are normally given unopened oysters, crabs, urchins etc but aquariums don’t usually give them in the enclosures because they’ll hit their food on the glass so they’re given it behind the scenes, but it doesn’t hurt if they hit the ice on the glass.
      They don’t normally completely remove the shelled foods from their diets because it’s not good for them, they just change where they’re given those foods

    Otter and Seagulls have their own ways to get the oysters cracked like:
    Otter: hammering the clams with the rock by holding the clams.
    Seagulls: flying while holding the clams then dropping it.

      @@barbrn most clam shells are relatively smooth curves but oyster shells tend to be very bumpy. They're also concave on one side, unlike clam shells which are convex on both sides and thus easier to smash open. However, neither oysters or clams are crunchy on the inside.
