ZooKeeper Andrea captured this great video of Oakland Zoo's three otter pups playing with their older sister, Tallulah. The pups came out on exhibit the first week of May.
On Thursday, March 22, 2012, Oakland Zoo, gave a sneak peek at three baby river otters (two males and one female), in their night house. The otters were born to Ginger, river otter, on the afternoon of February 18, 2012. Each baby weighed approximately 150 grams at birth. "It is very important for baby otters to learn appropriate social behavior from their mothers, so we are happy that Ginger has been such a great mom and is raising such well-adjusted pups," said Margaret Rousser, Zoological Manager.
Zookeepers also say the babies are very vocal, especially the female. The baby otters first went out on exhibit during the first week of May, after they learned how to swim (it's not instinctual). They also needed to be a certain size before leaving the night house. The public is now able to see the three young otters in the River Otter exhibit, located in the Wayne and Gladys Valley Children's Zoo.
