Rescued Sea Otter Waves to the Camera #shorts

This rescued sea otter waving for the camera is Quatse, who was found abandoned on a beach in British Columbia after becoming separated from her mother. After her rescue, Quatse the sea otter received 24 hour care and rehabilitation. She was assessed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada who determined she lacked the skills to survive on her own due to the fact that she was so young when rescued.

Sea otter pups will typically stay with their moms for six to seven months where they learn important survival skills such as how to forage for live food, avoid predators, and groom their incredibly dense fur coat. Since Quatse never learned these skills from her mom, the DFO deemed this little sea otter non-releasable.

I was one of the lucky biologists who raised and cared for Quatse the sea otter. She has made a full recovery and gone on to live a vibrant and healthy life under human care where she has become an ambassador for her species.
