Happy Sea Otter Awareness Week to our favorite furry ocean heroes. Sea otters eat all kinds of seafood - but by eating sea urchins, they’re vital to protecting kelp forests that would otherwise be consumed by urchins. Come “sea” our three rescued otters Libby, Moea, and Clara swim, flip and play at their Rocky Shores habitat. 🦦 | Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

Libby has a lot of energy and seems to really enjoy her training sessions. She’s opinionated and curious about anything happening in and around the sea otter habitat. Moea is the otter behind Libby.

This trained behavior for Clara allows keepers to check her mouth and teeth.
