Clever Otter Claps and Taps Her Paws #shorts

We teach the otters new behaviors for a variety of reasons. The most important are husbandry behaviors, such as mouth and paw presents, that allow us to provide the otters with exceptional health care. Another reason we train behaviors is to keep their minds and bodies active. Katmai is one of our older otters and her repertoire is extensive!

This sea otter was found on the side of an Alaskan highway at just 2 months old. It was believed she was separated from her mother during a vicious storm. Learn more about her rescue story here: https://youtu.be/EXzsZ_XdyxM

I was one of the lucky biologists who assisted in her rehabilitation and transfer from the Alaskan SeaLife Center to the Vancouver Aquarium where she found a permanent home and all the otter ice treats she could possibly want. She is named Katmai, after Katmai National Park in Alaska.
