Rest in peace Rosa our queen ❤❤ You were an absolute delight and inspiration and raised so many otter pups that you're probably the most important sea otter of all time. Celebrating your birthday every year was an absolute joy and we're going to miss you tremendously. I hope you're eating endless shrimp for all of us in heaven
We are 100% with Rosa, every single person in the community is behind her. We want to become the #1 donator to Monteray Bay in rememberance of Rosa. 10 million dollars under her name, it is what she would have wanted.
My 12 year old son introduced us all to Rosa because of Doug Doug. He does daily household chores to get money to donate each year to Doug Doug’s stream. This year he was working towards $1000. He loved Rosa so much that our family was traveling to Monterey from Maryland in two weeks for our summer vacation to see her. Such a sad day for everyone who loved Rosa.
Your kid is raised right. Honestly I'm crying over a fucking sea otter, please tell your child that just because Rosa is gone doesn't mean the cause is over. He can continue raising money in her name, as a tribute
What a great lad! I hope you'll still have a great summer vacation! I'm sure Rosa would love to see your son enjoy watching otters at her old home or any other aquarium.
now is not the time for mourning, now is the time for celebration. celebration of the single most influential and inspiring sea otter to bless our hearts. though we may have lost an angel, heaven has gained a saint. rest easy queen rosa.
“Don’t be sad because it’s over, smile because it happened.” Dr Seuss I’m not sure if those are the exact words, but it’s something along those lines. Rest in peace Rosa. You will be remembered.
@@doubobo1those are the exact words, and you are right, we should be happy that it happened, without her, this all wouldn’t have happened, I’m happy, we’re all happy that she helped the southern sea otters recover in numbers by contributing the recovery of her species, hell, one of the otters she raised is acting as a surrogate mother, and that new otter is named Selka!
I'm... Devastasted. I never thought that I would get so sad about a sea otter's passing, but that just shows how important Rosa was to me, and many of us. 07 for Rosa, the bravest hero we ever got
I never thought a streamer would make me care for an otter so much. Thank you Rosa for your contributions to this world. Thank you Doug for bringing us to the golden child. And thank you Monterey Bay Aquarium for taking care of this wonderful creature for so many years.
there are hundreds of otters out there in the wild that wouldn't be there without you rosa. thank you so much for everything, your legacy will live on with all of us
I worked at the Monterey Bay Aquarium gift shop for a brief time, about 10 years ago. And, I remember one morning I was working the opening shift, and I had gotten to the aquarium a little early. So, I took the opportunity to walk around some of the exhibits while there were no other visitors. And, I spent some time with Rosa, while she was grooming herself up near the glass. As it came up on my shift start time, I started to walk away. But, then, on a whim, I looked over my shoulder. And, there was Rosa, looking right at me, with her nose and paws pressed up against the glass! It was like she was saying, "Where ya going?! I didn't say you could leave!" It was one of the most heart-warming experiences I have ever had. We love you, Rosa. And, we miss you. Rest in peace, beloved fur baby.
Rosa, you never ceased to make us smile. You were a wonderful otter, who the internet rallied behind because of your motherly instinct and good nature. We will never truly forget what you did for us and the otter populations of the world. We love you forever Rosa, and we hope you will rest easy. “You, ma’am, are an otter.”
my world's frozen for a bit now. i'm cuddling my sea otter plushie tight. Rosa, i only saw you in person once. I wasn't able to send you food money for your birthdays. but i loved you like everyone else has. The world's not as cute without you around. thanks for helping the sea otter community over these past two and a half decades. we'll keep up the fight in your honor.
This just came across my for you page, and I didn't realize it was THE Rosa. I thought it was a joke. Holy cow. I'm crying over an otter. RIP Rosa. I have you find a nice shell in the streams of the sky
I just now found out about this, I had been planning on visiting the aquarium again to see Rosa. I’m glad I was able to see her once in my life, and countless of times on Doug’s streams. The fanart I made of her is still one of my favorites too. Thank you Monterey Bay Aquarium for taking care of such an amazing animal, her legacy will live on forever with her pups she helped raised.
I cannot imagine the grief of the Monterey Aquarium team. Thank you for giving Rosa an incredible, loved, impactful life for all those years. Rosa was and always will be my favorite otter. RIP Rosa, thank you for your beautiful legacy.
Oh, Rosa. I watched you on CCTV on Monday, napping in your kelp. And saw 845 and her new, healthy pup by the Coast Guard jetty - that’s your true legacy. God bless and keep you. You are such an inspiration to the SORAC team.
Never thought I’d get so attached to a sea otter, but man, this ruined my morning, I’m absolutely devastated, R.I.P. Rosa, the DougDoug community will always remember you, all the fan art, all the money raised for your birthdays, and all the otter pups you raised will not be forgotten.
I visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium a lot in college, but never knew any of the otters by name until watching a Doug Doug fundraising stream to celebrate Rosa's birthday several years ago. My heart goes out to the whole team, thank you for your care and love in ensuring she had the best and longest life possible.
While hearing that the world lost this incredible queen devastated me, it's not a time to grief, but to celebrate. Celebrate Rosa, celebrate how much she did for her own species and in the long term even the whole pacific ecosystem without even knowing, how many pubs she raised and how these pubs both become surrogate moms themselves or raise thier own pubs in the wild and of course how much awareness she raised towards Seaotters. Thank you Rosa! Our beautiful queen will be deeply missed! ❤
@@axeinroseI also hope for a funeral stream. One last hurrah, and potentially one that can raise money to help the otters even after the greatest among them is gone.
@@axeinroseI don’t think it would be the last. While Rosa may be gone, that doesn’t mean Doug and the community would stop supporting MBA. Rather, Doug might want to continue the tradition to honour Rosa’s legacy and her work. It’s the best we could do to continue keeping her in our memory ❤
@@LuciusDidus That's what I was saying. Rosa's story on it's own is so long and impactful to more than just the aquarium, and they didn't even have to mention DougDoug's charity streams for Rosa once, despite the impact those had as well.
I remember watching dougdougs first rosa celebration and I can't believe she's gone. I never thought I would say this but I am crying over her. Thanks for all the memories Rosa, to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for caring for her and giving her the love she deserves during her final years, and to the DougDoug community, US, for always supporting her. You'll be missed Rosa. Saludos from Colombia. RIP
My heart goes out to Rosa’s team - I’m so sorry for your loss. It was always a treat to see Rosa when visiting MBC. But for those of you having day to day interactions with Rosa her absence must be very hard. A big hug for all you behind-the-scene folks! ❤🦦❤
Thank you Rosa for inspiring so many. Thank you for helping your population return from the brink of extinction. Doug is going to be heartbroken, as are we all. Swim high, Rosa. Eat lots of shrimp in heaven for us.
I am so unimaginably sad about the passing of an animal that I've never even met nor seen in person. I'm not ashamed to admit that as a grown man, I shed some tears. That's just how prolific the influence of this otter -was- *is* and continues to be. I'll miss you, Rosa, and thank you for all of the good times and happy memories.
Rosa was a gift to this world. I almost always have this stream playing on a third monitor at work--Rosa and friends have kept me company at my desk for countless hours. Some of my favorite memories of Rosa were after closing time, when a trainer would come onto the exhibit one last time with food and spend a few quiet moments with our special girl. This feeding was a totally different pace, much more intimate than the scheduled training/feeding sessions. The trainer would often kneel down at the edge of the deck and Rosa would peacefully roll around in the water while the trainer would lower a juicy clam tongue down to her. Rosa would grasp her snack, chomping away with her head back, tail swaying back and forth. Rosa would often do a little lap around the exhibit while the trainer skimmed out food scraps from the water. She'd then come back for more--I could easily tell that Rosa was the one in control of these sessions--and then munch a little more before the trainer would say goodnight and then head out. Afterward, I'd get to watch her groom or spin around, enjoying the retiree life. She always projected such contentedness. I'll miss her terribly. 🌹🦦💙
Rosa, my Queen, your legacy will be eternal. You are missed by so many people and will remain in our hearts. Thank you for all that you've done for MBA, the otter population, and many many more
RIP Rosa i know im late but still what a beauty of a sea otter. I never thought i would get emotional by an otter But i hope DougDoug is gonna make 1mill a year later for our queen
Like many, I was introduced to Rosa by a certain unnamed, small time RUclipsr. As an East-Coaster, Rosa wasn't an otter I was ever likely to interact with. But watch videos celebrating her, her adorableness, and her awesome legacy of so many surrogate pups and living to the incredible age of 24. It inspired me to connect a bit more with aquatic life, and I tell you my next trip to an aquarium was like nothing else. A silly little livestream affected so many people, and me just one of those many. Wishing you everyone who worked with Rosa over the years peace in her passing, and joy in the memories of her legacy. Thank you, Rosa.
Rosa not only raised many pups, but brought a community off thousands and thousands of people together every year to support her the work at Monterey Bay. An absolute champion. We miss you x
My heart is shattered due to this news, despite how each year the outcome seemed closer and closer. I wanted to believe Rosa would last eons, for eternity. But, I will remember her fondly, always. Godspeed Rosa, you magnificent otter
Took me 3 weeks to finally find out about this. Thank you tosa for being a delightful and important little lady. And thank you Dougdoug for bringing so many eyes to our little queen
Thank you to the otterly terrific team at Monterey Bay Aquarium for your care and dedication to so many beautiful creatures like Rosa. Rosa was an amazing spokesotter for wildlife conservation, and she will be sorely missed.
Rosa's legacy will live on and she will be so missed. Thank you to her amazing team of caretakers for providing her with such a worthwhile life and letting her become an inspiration. ❤
She will surely be mossed. What an incredibly amazing otter. We love you always and forever Rosa. From someone who has been visiting your home for decades…❤️
We love you Rosa! What a sad day. She raised so many pups and has had such a positive impact on the world and she now gets a well earned rest. Thanks for streaming the events constantly. I have them on while I work. Take care of yourselves too, it must be hard fo you too. 0:08 a new hand will touch the beacon!
The way she held onto her babies even when they started to get too big and squishy for her... best mama ever. I hope you're having so much fun in otter heaven. We miss you 🥹❤️
Rosa although I never met you in person, you have left such a mark on your entire species. We will remember you, and you couldn’t have done more. RIP TO A REAL ONE
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Rosa was a mother to me and i loved her presence and it was so fun to see DougDoug and his community love Rosa :(
I had first discovered Rosa from the DougDoug channel and instantly fell in love with her. She had single handedly made me fall in love with all kinds of otters and left me heartbroken to see she had passed away. Have all the food you want in heaven, Rosa!❤❤
I saw this and ended up tearing up on my couch and when a family member saw me so I told them what happened and I just started balling my eyes out😭. Im soo happy I got to see her in person. I hope she getting the best treatment out of anything in existence. REST IN PEACE ROSA 🦦❤️.
I’ve said it before and ill say it again: Rosa has definitely had one of the best lives that any otter has ever had, and despite how devastating this is to so many people, I’m sure Monterey Bay Aquarium is going to keep her legacy strong by giving other otters a life like she had. Rest in peace, Rosa 🦦❤
I’ve never realized how much I loved this adorable sea otter, who I’d never met in person (or in otter?), but I am absolutely devastated, we truly didn’t deserve this beautiful little soul. Rest in peace, Rosa the sea otter
Thank you Rosa for all you have done for the Otter, aquatic, human and internet world. We will miss you! Thank you Monterey Bay for all the work you have done to take care of not just Rosa, but all of the animals in your aquarium, as well as all the aquatic life outside your walls.
Rosa was a precious and lovely otter, and without her the world is a little darker. But still, thank the Monterey Bay Aquarium for caring for Rosa over the years and continuing to care for many more otters like her.
We love a queen who can raise 15 pups and become an icon for communities while also being one of the oldest southern sea otters in the world. R.I.P Rosa we love you and hope that otter heaven has unlimited access to crab, fish cakes and more
Thank you for all the work you've done Rosa, you have made such a huge difference in this world. From the pups you've raised to all the hearts you've touched, the world is a better place because of you. You are loved and will never be forgotten!
Thankyou to DOugDoug for showing use this beautiful queen. She will be missed and hope not forgotten. Thnakyou to Monterey Bay Aquarium and DougDoug for everything you have done for her.
R.I.P. Rosa, the most important sea otter ever, and my favorite too, ty Monterey Bay Aquarium for taking care of Rosa, and ty to DougDoug for introducing me to Rosa, and for raising so much money to a great cause.
Florida fam here. Although we never got to visit in person, we enjoyed countless hours watching Rosa and the gang on the otter cam. So grateful for the opportunity to see them all frolicking together, and escape from the realities of the world today. KUDOS and condolences to all the staff and volunteers who made Rosa's life so fulfilling. I'm sure she wouldn't have had it any otter way. ❤
When I was furloughed during COVID, I found joy watching Rosa and the other girls every day and it made staying home a lot more pleasant. I'm glad she got to live a full life in the best possible place with people who loved her.
I was introduced to Rosa last year and I absolutely fell in love with her. Sea otters became my favorite animal and I did three school projects about otters, every time I learned a new fact about sea otters I loved them even more. Rosa truly inspired me to protect the ocean with my life. At the end of every school day I would check up on Rosa and make sure she was safe. I loved Rosa so much my friends would deem me an professor in otterology . Rosa had such a big impact on my life and I believe made me a more compassionate person for humans and otters alike. She will get all of the shrimp and clams in heaven. Swim high in the cosmos Rosa the fluffy torpedo
Sweet angel Rosa, you brought joy to so many. 🦦🖤🌹 Thank you for being such a 'grande dame' ambassador for the sea otter recovery program in our beautiful home state of California. I hope you are frolicking and merrily swimming through rich kelp forests with the sun sparkling above, across that rainbow bridge-condolences and sincere thanks to the staff and volunteers who took exceptional care of her all these years. 🦦🥀🕊️😇☮️💖🌈🌸💐✨
I remember researching the Monterey Bay Aquarium back in 2000 and 2001 when I was a Park Service interpreter for Olympic National Park and putting together a program about the kelp forest. I became acquainted with the story of Rosa and the amazing work being done by MBA. Rosa is a part of my Park Service legacy. Rest in Peace Rosa and thank you for the joy you brought to so many lives.
I'll miss you Rosa, you're still a little pup in my heart. What a strong otter you were, thank you MBA for saving and treating such a gem of a being and thank you Rosa for all the smiles you brought to my face.❤
I never imagined that Rosa would become someone so important to me. This news is very sad, but I will always remember how amazing her story was for me and how enjoyable it was and how happy it made me to watch her swim and living her life through this streaming. 💚
Was sorry to hear of Rosa's passing. What a beautiful happy nurturing girl she was to her fellow sea otters. Thank you for your dedicated care of Rosa, her fellow otters and all the glorious creatures in your care. God bless you and God bless Rosa. Heaven has gained another beautiful soul
I’m very lucky I got to see her before her health crisis. It was the highlight of my day, week, and even month. She was so cute and she made a lasting impact on soooooo many, people and otters alike. I sincerely hope she knew just how much she meant to people. Rest well Rosa, our forever queen, there is a special place in heaven for you. ❤❤❤
The fact that this is literally only showing up in my recommended feed simply because of Doug is a hilarious, but even more so such a heartwarming thing. RIP Rosa 😢

Gone, But not forgotten.
If it weren't for Doug I likely never would've known Rosa, Rosa was the best otter to ever exist, and its sad they passed. o7 Rosa

He loved Rosa so much that our family was traveling to Monterey from Maryland in two weeks for our summer vacation to see her. Such a sad day for everyone who loved Rosa.
Aw I’m sorry to hear he was so close to meeting her! Be sure to get him a plushie in remembrance of her. You raised an awesome kid! c:
@@compassrose1466 thank you 💕
Your kid is raised right. Honestly I'm crying over a fucking sea otter, please tell your child that just because Rosa is gone doesn't mean the cause is over. He can continue raising money in her name, as a tribute
@@Down_bad_cockroach Thank you for the kind words. He intends to do just that!!
What a great lad! I hope you'll still have a great summer vacation! I'm sure Rosa would love to see your son enjoy watching otters at her old home or any other aquarium.
It’s insane how one streamer brought so many eyes to this special otter. Might be the most famous Otter to exist in history.
Googling "most famous otter" shows Rosa as top result
@RubyPiec it's as it should be
she even has her own wikipedia.
RIP you lovely queen
She has (through Doug) raised so much money for a good cause. She is deserving of all her renown and more
Yessss
now is not the time for mourning, now is the time for celebration. celebration of the single most influential and inspiring sea otter to bless our hearts. though we may have lost an angel, heaven has gained a saint. rest easy queen rosa.
Well said. Truly.

偉大な母であるRosa.日本からあなたを見ていました。数ヶ月前から食事の心配がありましたね。飼育員の皆さん懸命な努力をありがとうございました。24年もの長い間、みんなのお母さんになってくれてありがとう。RIP
Rosa, thank you for your example of unconditional love...Blessings!
Every time we went to the aquarium and we had to check out Rosa. RIP😢
"We love you Rosa!" We all chant in unison.
Don’t be sad because it’s gone, be happy because it happened. Rosa will forever live on in our hearts. ❤
Thank you to the otterly terrific team at Monterey Bay Aquarium for your care and dedication to so many beautiful creatures like Rosa. Rosa was an amazing spokesotter for wildlife conservation, and she will be sorely missed.
Rosa's legacy will live on and she will be so missed. Thank you to her amazing team of caretakers for providing her with such a worthwhile life and letting her become an inspiration. ❤
Don't forget about DougDoug and his birthday bashes he threw for her, they generated alot of money Monteray
I just found out about Rosa. I watched the DougDoug streams all the time and fell in love with Rosa. May Rosa rest in peace.
She will surely be mossed. What an incredibly amazing otter. We love you always and forever Rosa. From someone who has been visiting your home for decades…❤️
best otter mom ever 🌹
We love you Rosa! What a sad day. She raised so many pups and has had such a positive impact on the world and she now gets a well earned rest. Thanks for streaming the events constantly. I have them on while I work. Take care of yourselves too, it must be hard fo you too. 0:08 a new hand will touch the beacon!
The way she held onto her babies even when they started to get too big and squishy for her... best mama ever. I hope you're having so much fun in otter heaven. We miss you 🥹❤️
What a great otter mom!
Rest in peace Rosa, even people on the other side of the planet loved watching your cute, blonde head on the cam ❤
Real men cried to this heartbreaking news. R.I.P Rosa, I wish we could have you forever.
No! Not Rosa! 😢 RIP Queen Rosa! Hope you can eat to your hearts content in the afterlife!
RIP Rosa. Thank you for bringing so much joy to the world, especially the Dougdoug fanbase.
@@1pleed??? Why did you reply that
@@figure6564 reply what?
Rosa was such a good part of Doug's channel, sad to see it be over
Rosa although I never met you in person, you have left such a mark on your entire species. We will remember you, and you couldn’t have done more. RIP TO A REAL ONE
So sorry-we always enjoyed seeing Rosa on our visits. Thanks for taking such good care of her ❤️
RIP Rosa!! You will be missed so much. Big thanks to Monterey Bay Aquarium for taking such a good care of her all these years. Amazing video!!!
I'm so sorry to hear of Rosa's passing. :( What a sweet soul. We are all so lucky to have shared some of our lives with her!
I only learned because of this video showing up on my recommended. Truly devastating
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,
Rosa was a mother to me and i loved her presence and it was so fun to see DougDoug and his community love Rosa :(
I had first discovered Rosa from the DougDoug channel and instantly fell in love with her. She had single handedly made me fall in love with all kinds of otters and left me heartbroken to see she had passed away. Have all the food you want in heaven, Rosa!❤❤
I saw this and ended up tearing up on my couch and when a family member saw me so I told them what happened and I just started balling my eyes out😭. Im soo happy I got to see her in person. I hope she getting the best treatment out of anything in existence. REST IN PEACE ROSA 🦦❤️.
Sweetie dreams Rosa I'm glad we could celebrate your beauty for a list the time we got
I’ve said it before and ill say it again: Rosa has definitely had one of the best lives that any otter has ever had, and despite how devastating this is to so many people, I’m sure Monterey Bay Aquarium is going to keep her legacy strong by giving other otters a life like she had.
Rest in peace, Rosa 🦦❤
I’ve never realized how much I loved this adorable sea otter, who I’d never met in person (or in otter?), but I am absolutely devastated, we truly didn’t deserve this beautiful little soul. Rest in peace, Rosa the sea otter
Thank you Rosa for all you have done for the Otter, aquatic, human and internet world. We will miss you!
Thank you Monterey Bay for all the work you have done to take care of not just Rosa, but all of the animals in your aquarium, as well as all the aquatic life outside your walls.
Rest in peace Rosa. ❤ We will miss you.
Rosa was a precious and lovely otter, and without her the world is a little darker. But still, thank the Monterey Bay Aquarium for caring for Rosa over the years and continuing to care for many more otters like her.
We love a queen who can raise 15 pups and become an icon for communities while also being one of the oldest southern sea otters in the world. R.I.P Rosa we love you and hope that otter heaven has unlimited access to crab, fish cakes and more
Thank you for all the work you've done Rosa, you have made such a huge difference in this world. From the pups you've raised to all the hearts you've touched, the world is a better place because of you. You are loved and will never be forgotten!
Thankyou to DOugDoug for showing use this beautiful queen. She will be missed and hope not forgotten. Thnakyou to Monterey Bay Aquarium and DougDoug for everything you have done for her.
R.I.P. Rosa, the most important sea otter ever, and my favorite too, ty Monterey Bay Aquarium for taking care of Rosa, and ty to DougDoug for introducing me to Rosa, and for raising so much money to a great cause.
Rosa was the main reason why i started to love otters. She made me even get a plushie of one
o7 Rosa, you were an awesome otter 🦦❤️
Florida fam here. Although we never got to visit in person, we enjoyed countless hours watching Rosa and the gang on the otter cam. So grateful for the opportunity to see them all frolicking together, and escape from the realities of the world today. KUDOS and condolences to all the staff and volunteers who made Rosa's life so fulfilling. I'm sure she wouldn't have had it any otter way. ❤
Rest in peace, Rosa the Sea Otter. Mother, friend, inspiration. You'll never be forgotten.
When I was furloughed during COVID, I found joy watching Rosa and the other girls every day and it made staying home a lot more pleasant. I'm glad she got to live a full life in the best possible place with people who loved her.
I was introduced to Rosa last year and I absolutely fell in love with her. Sea otters became my favorite animal and I did three school projects about otters, every time I learned a new fact about sea otters I loved them even more. Rosa truly inspired me to protect the ocean with my life. At the end of every school day I would check up on Rosa and make sure she was safe. I loved Rosa so much my friends would deem me an professor in otterology . Rosa had such a big impact on my life and I believe made me a more compassionate person for humans and otters alike. She will get all of the shrimp and clams in heaven. Swim high in the cosmos Rosa the fluffy torpedo
Sweet angel Rosa, you brought joy to so many. 🦦🖤🌹 Thank you for being such a 'grande dame' ambassador for the sea otter recovery program in our beautiful home state of California. I hope you are frolicking and merrily swimming through rich kelp forests with the sun sparkling above, across that rainbow bridge-condolences and sincere thanks to the staff and volunteers who took exceptional care of her all these years. 🦦🥀🕊️😇☮️💖🌈🌸💐✨
Rest in peace. The single most influential and inspiring Sea Otter to ever grace this earth. You will not be forgotten Rosa. o7
I remember researching the Monterey Bay Aquarium back in 2000 and 2001 when I was a Park Service interpreter for Olympic National Park and putting together a program about the kelp forest. I became acquainted with the story of Rosa and the amazing work being done by MBA. Rosa is a part of my Park Service legacy. Rest in Peace Rosa and thank you for the joy you brought to so many lives.
I'll miss you Rosa, you're still a little pup in my heart. What a strong otter you were, thank you MBA for saving and treating such a gem of a being and thank you Rosa for all the smiles you brought to my face.❤
I never imagined that Rosa would become someone so important to me. This news is very sad, but I will always remember how amazing her story was for me and how enjoyable it was and how happy it made me to watch her swim and living her life through this streaming. 💚
I never had the delight to meet Rosa in person, but she was amazing, and certainly the best sea otter EVER!
RIP Rosa ❤😢
Was sorry to hear of Rosa's passing. What a beautiful happy nurturing girl she was to her fellow sea otters. Thank you for your dedicated care of Rosa, her fellow otters and all the glorious creatures in your care. God bless you and God bless Rosa. Heaven has gained another beautiful soul
I’m very lucky I got to see her before her health crisis. It was the highlight of my day, week, and even month. She was so cute and she made a lasting impact on soooooo many, people and otters alike. I sincerely hope she knew just how much she meant to people. Rest well Rosa, our forever queen, there is a special place in heaven for you. ❤❤❤
Rest well and be free in the sea of spirit Rosa. Thank you for existing and helping baby otters find their way
The fact that this is literally only showing up in my recommended feed simply because of Doug is a hilarious, but even more so such a heartwarming thing. RIP Rosa 😢
may her soul rest in peace, rosa was always a beautiful sea otter. And it will stay that way. ❤🙏
my condolences. Rosa will be missed. it is amazing she helped rear so many pups
I’m so sorry about her passing and she was a truly legendary otter mom.

She will be missed.
