Every year, #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek takes place during the last full week of Sept to celebrate and inspire deeper awareness of these marine mammals. All three sea otters living at Point Defiance Zoo are rescued. They were deemed non-releasable to the wild by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. π¦¦

Female sea otters canβt go far from their kelp beds when theyβve got a pup because the pupβs fur is too dense to dive, and mom ties the pup off in the kelp canopy while diving for food. #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek #γ©γγ³ π¦¦π¦¦
Happy #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek! 𦦠Moea, our rescued sea otter, is an estimated 16 years old. She is calm, confident, and loves spending time with her fellow otters. Sheβs also a foodie at heart, and her name is too! "Moea" is a nod to the scientific name for sweet potato. π

Sea otter pups require round the clock care from their moms for the first six months. Otter mothers will teach their young to eat, hunt, groom, and generally otter! This is a full time job and requires a lot of energy so if you see an otter with its baby, give them space! #seaotterawarenessweek
We study sea otters by the seashoreβand it's pretty great. Learn more about our research for #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek π
Our Research Program was launched in 1995 with a focus on sea otters. Since then, we've conducted countless studies on their biology and ecology! 𦦠(1/3)

Sea otters play a crucial role in regulating coastal ecosystems! By preying on sea urchin, otters allow kelp forests to flourish, providing habitat for a diverse community. In the absence of sea otters, urchins can overrun kelp, creating what is known as βurchin barrens.β #seaotterawarenessweek
