Live Sea Otter Cam 2 - Seattle Aquarium

Watch the playful sea otters at the Seattle Aquarium, live! Don't see the otters? They could be resting out of view, or may be in another area of the sea otter habitat. Be sure to check our other live cam if you don't see the otters: https://youtu.be/hIynYWHmx4M

From time to time, you may see other animals in the sea otter habitats. The marine mammals at the Seattle Aquarium have been trained to move from one habitat to another as needed to support animal management and so we may safely clean the habitats. You may occasionally see, for example, a fur seal in one of the sea otter habitats. A series of gates and doors keeps the marine mammals safely separated even though they may appear to be in the same area.

Meet Mishka and Sekiu!

Mishka (pronounced MEESH-kah) joined us in January 2015, after being caught in a fishing net as a young pup, then being rescued and rehabilitated by the Alaska SeaLife Center and deemed non-releasable by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

Sekiu (pronounced SEE-cue) was born right here at the Seattle Aquarium on January 14, 2012! Her mother was Aniak, who passed away under our care in June 2021, and her father was Adaa, who passed away under our care in February 2022. Sekiu was the 11th pup to be successfully born at the Aquarium, and the last sea otter born in a zoological facility in the United States (see our FAQ for more details). After being transferred to the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in 2017 to be a companion for their sole female at the time, she returned to us in December 2021.
