Monterey Bay Aquarium

Audience: All ages
A lot of different activities go on in the Monterey Bay Aquarium sea otter exhibit. We feed our otters four times a day but you might not recognize the food at first. We often put the food into toys, like food tubes, that stimulate the otters' natural behavior of pounding and working to get food out of shells. Our aquarists also teach the otters behaviors, like walking onto a scale or into a kennel, or holding a target with their paws to focus their attention and keep still. This link connects to the sea otter cam.
