    Man, what a confident pup she was! Didn't complain during her exam, jumped right back into the water at the end, happily dunked her head under water (upside down, no less!), flippered her way around the enclosure like she owned the place... What a great girl!

    There have been a total of 10 sea otter births at the Aquarium, and eight of those pups lived to adulthood.

    One of our biologists recorded this video with her iPad as the vet was conducting the exam.

    @strlightcutie521 Sea otters turn over as they eat to remove food debris from their chests as well as to store some of their food in loose skin folds under their arms.

  • @DAOzz83

    I suspect wo reasons: One is that the mother associates the trainers with food, play, and other good things in general, so she trusts them as much as an otter can. The other is that she's being constantly distracted with shrimp through the whole thing. It's only JUST enough to keep her from clambering out and swiping wildly at the vet, I would imagine.

    • @sweetcoco8064
      @sweetcoco8064 5 лет назад +11

      She trusts the vet, she even gave the baby to them so I think your first option is true

      @@sweetcoco8064 do you think they do the exam near the mom to make sure she knows her pup is ok and she’s not going anywhere rather than taking her away for a bit to do the exam?

  • @DAOzz83
    @DAOzz83 11 лет назад +15

    Yes. Sea otters eat about 25% (!) of their body weight daily... and it needs to be high-quality, high-protein stuff like shrimp, crab, and clam (or sea urchin). So, yeah, that's a lot of shrimp they go through.

    why do they accept this treatment? do they know that the vet is trying to help them? you'd figure the pups parent would object to some large alien creature manhandling their pups. this is cute and i like it but just wondering.

  • @coustoe
    @coustoe 9 лет назад

    doesn't seem to make sense to feed them tons of expensive shrimp and shellfish, they will eat fish, and other proteins, Shell fish has such a low caloric density, you could feed them fatty fish and they would get the same caloric requirements in 1/4 the weight, I'm sure biologically they do need to eat a certain amount of shellfish, but I'm betting a good portion could be replaced with more nutrient dense foods to include complex carbs and fatty fish, probably reduce the food they have to eat to a more manageable 5% of body weight.

    • @readerl.3461

      Sea otters eat VERY little fish out in the willd. Hardly never. Shellfish and shrimp make up the majority of their diets. Their caretakers want them to have as close to a natural lifestyle as they would have in the wild.

    • @liamg2271
      @liamg2271 4 года назад +5

      Sea Otters eat shellfish jkass. That's their diet, not fish. They thoroughly enjoy gorging on scallops, shrimp, mussels, crabs, sea urchin, clams, snails, etc, etc. They protect kelp forests by putting sea urchins in their pot bellies. Do not disparage the mighty sea otter by questioning their diet.
