Oooooh... They must be the cutest little things in the world!
Those little squeaks are the best!
The young woman who works with the pup is wonderful, too. No wonder these exquisite creatures are protected and valued by humans, who are so often merciless, bloodthirsty, and heedlessly destructive. If only we protected other wildlife as carefully and compassionately as we treat sea otters and pandas. Instead we are engineering global mass extinctions.
@Atman Gotango Riiiiggggt....there are almost 8 billion humans and only a few hundred thousand mustelids.....who support biodiversity, not pretend like a few species is enough to get along.
Watching lots of animals eat is adorable
leeches are my fav
I-WANT-THIS-JOB
Him Tortons
It requires lots of college and still doesn’t pay well.... but super awesome when you get to do something like help raise a sea otter pup.
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ 1 year later, I still want the job.
It may be alot of schooling and not pay alot but at the end of it all you have a job you love. And they say if you love you job you never work a single day.
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ I don't think it's 'lots' of college. I think it requires a 'regular' amount of college. Like a bachelor's degree in marine biology.
@@himtortons9526 another year later, do you still want the job?
Cute and adorable
Best job EVER!!!!
Thank you for all this information !! Other videos just say their fur is not water proof or why they brush themselves so much and don’t go into why
The groom themselves a lot in order to protect the skin underneath to keep warm. Unlike other sea animals like sea lions which have blubber to keep warm they have fur. Think of it has a winter coat
Such care and dedication, I love it 🦦🖤
Hes so CUTE!
I need this job the animals just so 😩 cutee 😍💖💖
Those puffy cheeks

"Here's look'in at you kid"....
"Keep it clean, no punching below the belt."
This sea otter has a better life than 50% of the US population!!!
Adorable
i love this
Just curious. Where did this sea otter end up finding his new home afterwards? I mean is he still at Shedd now or did he move elsewhere?
Man send that otter back his species will adopt
Do you know that for sure? Some species would simply kill it, to prevent it from becoming a rival down the road.
thank you
OMG I want a job like that! Hire me!?
🤗😍💋💋💋🐾🐾🐾
Cool

Mothers in the world should pay attention to what his mother would do for him that all children need holding etc
Too bad some parents don't take care of their kids this well, we'd probably have less mass murder if they did.
water doggos
Yo guys have you had this idea what happens if you raise the sea otter on land without water in an enclosure?
Its against the law in most countries river otters are legal as pets in Asia I believe.. But NOT sea otters
Sea otters are an endangered species
Так жалко животных,которые живут в неволе
I'm sorry that I only speak English, but I wanted to share some information about sea otters in captivity.
Some animals do not survive or live happy lives in human captivity. Great white sharks almost always die within six months. Orcas become depressed and their dorsal fins start to sag.
But sea otters have been shown to live longer in human captivity than in the wild. And you can see in videos like this that they play, with each other or with their human carers. Depressed animals don't play.
Baby sea otters are like humans. They learn through being taught by a parent, not just instinct. This means that if their mom dies or loses them, they will never learn the skills they need to survive in the wild. Any sea otter pup who loses its mom before six months will die if left alone in the wild.
If this baby sea otter was not in human captivity, it would have died in the wild. That is a fact.
There is one program in the world that rehabilitates orphaned sea otter pups: Monterey Bay. They place pups with a surrogate sea otter mom who teaches them how to dive, forage for food, etc.
But that is only for the southern sea otter species, not northern sea otters like the ones from Alaska. They may be able to develop similar programs for northern sea otters some day, though.
So to summarize, I understand your concerns, but I think this is one case where you don't need to feel bad for the animals. This is the best life for them once they are orphaned.
Why don’t they just put live fish in the water to speed up the learning process
Because sea otters don't eat fish
@@onwednesdayswewearpink2761 To be fair they do eat fish if they can get their hands on one, they just don't generally go out of their way to hunt for them as that is not their specialty. Some individuals may make a hobby out of catching flounders though, or even find clever ways to snatch the occasional salmon in areas that allow for it. This is all taking about sea otters, other otter species very much do specialize in catching fish.
@@GepardenK Yeah, the giant otter eats around 97% fish
But they have the benefit of living in a river, and thus have good stocks of fish at their preferred hunting depth at 0,6m. Sea otters are not that lucky.
I need this job the animals just so 😩 cutee 😍💖💖
