Rescued Sea Otter Says "GOOD MORNING STARSHINE!" #shorts

This sea otter seen waving to the camera is Quatse. She was found a beach in British Columbia having becoming separated from her mother and was quickly reported to the B.C. Marine Mammal Reporting Network hotline. After her rescue, Quatse the sea otter - named after the Quatse Rover -- received 24 hour care and rehabilitation.

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, she was assessed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada who "deemed Quatse non-releasable and she will remain in human care. Due to her young age at stranding, and her inability to forage for live food or escape predation, Quatse is not suitable for release back to the wild. "

I was one of the lucky biologists who raised and cared for Quatse. This feisty little sea otter 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.
