Sea otters, walruses, and whales make a variety of interesting vocalizations! From Joey the sea otter's "meeps" to beluga whale songs, animals have adapted many vocalizations to help them navigate their worlds! Come along with a marine biologist on a Deeper Dive into why they vocalize and what some of these sounds mean.
Learn more about why sea otters are a keystone species, what that means for the environment, and how their reintroduction to historic habitats could help fight the climate crisis: • How Sea Otters Help Sa...
The sea otters in this video were all rescued as young, dependent pups after being tragically orphaned and separated from their mothers. They were deemed non-releasable by various government agencies.
Rialto was discovered stranded on Rialto Beach in Olympic National Park. At the time, he was less than a month old. I was one of the lucky marine biologists tasked with nursing this sea otter back to health with 24/7 care, both at the Seattle Aquarium and eventually the Vancouver Aquarium.
Joey the Sea Otter was rescued in 2020 off the coast of Vancouver Island after his cries were heard throughout the night. It was determined that he was only a day old and that his mother had tragically passed away. I was one of the lucky marine biologists who participated in his rescue and rehabilitation. Since he was so young at the time of rescue, biologists at the Department of Fisheries Canada determined that Joey the Sea Otter lacked the skills to survive in the wild and thus deemed him non-releasable. He has thrived under human care and adapted well to his new otter family.
Quatse was found on a beach in British Columbia after becoming separated from her mother and was quickly reported to the B.C. Marine Mammal Reporting Network hotline. After her rescue, Quatse the sea otter - named after the Quatse River -- received 24 hour care and rehabilitation.
Just like Rialto and Joey, she was assessed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada who deemed Quatse non-releasable due to her young age at stranding, and her inability to forage for live food or escape predation."
I was one of the lucky biologists who raised and cared for Quatse. This feisty little sea otter has made a full recovery and gone on to live a vibrant and healthy life under human care where she has become an ambassador for her species.

Seems like Quaste mom taught her baby a lot in their brief time together . Yes, Joey is loud and probably annoying but in his defense he did save 2020 for thousands of us,world wide. All of you did , we were anxious , bored, afraid and fearful . Joey filled our hearts and gave us hope. Now he's turning one and growing up. You ,Joey and his siblings are teaching us volumes. It's like we were asleep and we woke up, it's very exciting. So Thank you for your knowledge , patience and passion. Yes, I think and deeper dive on whale vocalizations would be great maybe include dolphins ,aren't they big talkers .
So amazing how Quatse's mom taught her to keep quiet. She is a force to be reckoned with. Smart girl.
She is such a strong personality!
Fascinating articles. Yes, please expand on whale songs and individual calls.
Excellent, KP! I enjoyed hearing from the walruses, seals, whales, and otters. Joey manages to be louder than all of them combined!
They should make a band!
Thank you KP, you promised us meeping and that’s what we got. Joey likes everyone to know he is there. Two of my favourite old clips are Taz putting her paw over Joey’s mouth and Joey meeping as a baby when offered a toy - adorable, but I don’t have to spend hours with him each day so what I think is lovely may not be for you and the other Marine Biologists ❤️
He is at least quieter than he was hahha. I'll have to settle for that.
I never get tired of listening to your knowledge and educating us " ignorant" folk. Thankyou so much. I love LOVE Joey so much.
Aww you are so sweet!
Hi, KP Terrific content. I've watched Joey since he arrived last July and so when
you explained he will continue meeping, this made sense as to why they deemed
him 'Non Releasable' and I confess I am selfishly glad they did. Joey was arguably the best thing to come out of 2020.
As for Ferret sounds. They are related to Otters as we both know. Ferrents call
their Ferrets 'Baby Meepers' when they are tummies with teeth.
My Baby Mika Ferret was our first Baby Meeper and she meeped!
She meeped and she meeped until she grew up and then Mika Ferret learned to Hiss.
Mika Ferret was very proud of her Hiss. She would walk by some unsuspecting toy
or sleeping Wynstan Ferret and hiss.... then sort of prance on by, looking satisfied
Mika which means 'intelligent raccoon' had made her point.
She learned to prance from Roamy Ferret who was bonded to Juliet Ferret.
Juliet Ferret is our Alpha and she Honked! Juliet Ferret is now a Senior Ferret
but once she honked and dooked constantly to keep her business in line.
Keller Ferret was deaf and she had a tiny naughty little chitter when she was with Mika Ferret.
I heard Ponce Ferret (my Rosebud) bark once. In his last few minutes in my arms.
Walrus Sounds are now on my bucket list!
Ferrets have adorable sounds! My favorite is the happy dooking sound that they do.
Your content and knowledge keeps us so engaged! I love this topic.
Joey’s meeps are for his beloved hoomans and Wigglers. It’s how he says I love you guys! 😝
At least he is cute hahaha
Those vocalizations saved Joey, when they found him. We love him with his MEEPS!
That is true as well!
Yes. Had he not cried, baby Joey would've died. Thank God for those beautiful meeps!!!
8:40 it looks and sounds like Joey was mad at the toy as he grunts and pushes it away 😂
Awesome video as always KP! The walruses sounds are so fascinating!
Love all the meeps! And different sounds of sea otters. Love sea otters especially pups
You are so welcome!
The walrus click kills me every single time! Can you do a video on the trait differences and ability to adapt to captivity in marine mammals that were rescued shortly after birth and those rescued later in life?
Isn't it super weird! That would be an interesting video. I will have to research it some more. Thanks for the suggestion!
Just love our Mr. Meepalot...Joey!!
Oh wow, loved this KP! The different vocalisations are epic! 🥰
Right?!
This was so much fun and interesting, I wonder how a sea otter mom teach her pup to be silent... anyway, I would like to know much more about whales and dolphins. They are amazingly interesting animals. Walruses are amazing, but my favorite does still remain the sea lions. Always happy when they are in your videos! Thanks!
Good question! Honestly they probably just bite them a little bit when they are being too loud hahaha
I saw one vid of a sea otter mom put her paw over meeping baby's mouth while she had baby otter on her tummy❤ Pretty darned cute.
@@lb1460 I saw a similar video on RUclips of a mom and baby in Monterey Bay-the baby was meeping really loudly and the mom put her paw over the baby’s mouth and the people filming commented on this 🦦❤️
I would love to hear more about the way whales interact with each other. I am so fascinated by all.of these creatures, and yes, especially the otters. I have the otter cam up on my computer during my work day, just to give me that smile when I need a break!
Thanks for all of your information and sharing your knowledge with us. I can't wait until the aquarium is open again. My son(and I) miss all of our favourite creatures, especially Taz, Cinco, Helen,and Joey.
Sounds good! We will dive even deeper into this topic!
Loved this video!! So fascinating. Please do more. Interesting content plus precious baby otters, what more could we want. Thanks KP 😊
More to come!
Baby sea otter: meep, meep, meep
Human: Awww (heart melting). 🦦❤️
Learned so much in this one. Thanks!
Nature is beyond amazing.
Thanks for these videos KP I enjoy learning about these animals from you, especially about sea otters. I fell in love with Joey last year when i came across his livestream. And thank you for the conservation work you and others do.
That is awesome! You are very welcome.
Seriously... they are all beautiful and amazing. This was so so good (yet again). Will watch lots of times I'm sure.
Thank you so much!!
Meep!
The walrus is the flatulent flutist!
All of them are wonderful! Another great video.
Thank you so much!
I see otters, I click, I like!
Hahahaha yep!
Another wonderful video. My favorite sounds are “the walrus”‼️ Not only are they smart, but their sounds make me laugh.
Mine too! But you already knew that probably hahaha
I think the big sibs of Joey would still grunt but he's still the loudest 🤣🦦
This is awesome!
Thank you!
I must say learning there is a walrus named balzak has made my day. Its kinda funny in dutch 😄
Hahahaha its funny in english too. Apparently he was named after a famous french poet!
Yes, I want whale & dolphin noises please.
Hopefully soon!
"screep! Screeeeeep!" Joey probably
100%
Question: how would a sea otter interact with a sea turtle?
Meeeeeeep
Hey KP, do you ever swim with any of these animals?
We sometimes swim with our seals! It is super fun!
If he brings his hands to his mouth, fingers in his mouth, and sounds hungry, the otter, what is wrong? I think it is distress. Please help with an answer. I know one in captive and does this? Maybe sick?
Animals do have a soul , atheism is a deception to destroy souls , there is another dimension , that place is hell , I warn you as gift , I like animals too..
😂
@@KPassionate I am not making a joke , if you have the time I am willing to explain more you even dream, let me give you clue , science and history are falsified , human society has many layers , ordinary people almost never see behind the mirror .
I will make it short for you , I was an atheist , did research in ancient civilization , political class and religion , then realize the upper class had an entire knowledge not share with the low classes , this body of information was given after initiation in secret society but require years of study , I was intrigue so decided to get as many books as posible to expand my research, had no clue what was I doing , I was learning esoteric books about occult knowledge ,this is what you would call witchcraft , as an atheist for me it was just harmless books , myths and ancient cultures.
Paranormal phenomena manifest , slow in the beginning , after a few months I was terrified , my home became the epicenter of a Poltergeists , the proud atheist had to beg crying Jesus save me.
I am giving you only a part of what I can share and trust me , it is not a joke, the reality where we exist is artificial , we are an experiment , there is a Supreme Being beyond human comprehension , we are composite of biology and spiritual energy , after we die the consciousness dont dissipate , it is self contain but spoiler we are not alone , non human intelligence exist to collect the soul and we are put under trial , memory , emotion , personality all is preserve and analyze , the punishment for crimes is to be exile to another dimension, this is the real reason so many cultures separated by thousand of miles have an idea of that place, is vestigial knowledge of a once share memory .
I can share so much information , tell me if you care to know.
I’m convinced Joey’s trying to talk. He just wants to tell you guys about his “How to Make the Sea Otter Habitats Better” suggestions 🤣 I bet number 1 on his list is “more schnacks”
Hahahaha maybe!
Either that or he’s tattletelling on everybody.
“Oh my god, you’ll never guess what happened today!? Rialto was playing with a boomer ball and Katmai wanted it so she told Tazzy and Tazzy went and bitchslapped Rialto with her flippers and he dropped the ball and Tazzy took it but she didn’t give it to Katmai and kept it for herself! It. Was. CRAZY! So how’s you’re day been so far?” 🤣
Informative, I did not know this about walruses! They are adorable, didn’t know they could make so many different sounds. Please tell more about whales and their sounds!
Do penguins make different vocalizations as well?
Yes penguins do make different sounds! I'll have to try to record some.
Walrus whistle may very well be my new favorite sound.❤
Besides the otter meeps of course..
Of course hahaha
Music to my ears from all these amazing animals ❤️ would love to learn more about there vocalisations, thanks KP 😁
Ok sounds like a plan!
Terrific video KP! Did you call Joey a 'dingus'? I am curious to learn exactly how the mother teaches her baby otter Not to make the vocalizations. The walrus calls and info on their vocal chords and facial muscles are amazing! Beautiful video.🦦
I did call him a dingus 😂. I use it as a term of endearment
you are the best!
Another great video! Thanks so much for all the wonderful info. I would love to hear more about whale and dolphin vocalisations, they have the most beautiful songs. Jojo has always been so full of feelings.
You got it!
Thank you KP and team for another fascinating presentation! We learn so much about marine mammals from you.
You are most welcome!
I love these videos!! More screaming meeps soon
Entirely too many screaming meeps
Wonderful video KP ! I agree a 100 % with what @Joey baby said below , it says so well how I feel about Joey .
I've never seen a closeup of a walrus making different sounds! They are so cool!
What a great informative video! I‘m always glued to my phone because it’s so interesting! 🧡 Sure- more from dolphins and whales! 🦦: Can you tell Joey’s meeps apart, is he bored, frustrated, happy to see you, wants attention…??
Joey just doesn't understand what the vocalizations mean so he yells for any and all emotions lol
@@KPassionate thanks KP, on one side it’s sad that he doesn’t know. But anyway it‘s making him „unique“ 😍
all young animals play to learn hunting skills. do sea otters play in groups? I think of sea otters in the wild as solitary.
Gosh, I LOVE this series. Have to say I came for the otters like most here, but those walrusses are growing on me one deeper dive at a time. Will have to check if the Hamburg animal park still has some next time I visit.
My evil plan is working!!!
KP show some of the baby walrus cuddling with their keepers. That will win everyone over.😍
@@KPassionate 😂👍
