Welcome home, Willow and Suri. 🦦💙🦦

We’re thrilled to introduce two—yes TWO!—resident otters joining our raft today:

🌬️🍃 Willow’s a tenacious otter who’s never bent to the wind. Though she’s a little shy, this resourceful and inquisitive otter embraces life’s changing tides without getting lost in the current.

🏔️🌊 Suri’s got a big name and a big personality to match! Named after the iconic Big Sur coastline, she’s a bold and confident otter who’s always eager to explore uncharted waters.

This is a full-circle homecoming for Suri and Willow, who were both rescued and rehabilitated here as orphaned pups in 2022. After many adventures together, today Suri and Willow return to us as both charming ambassadors for their species and stellar candidates for our Sea Otter Program.

These otters may one day serve as surrogate mothers to orphaned pups by modeling the skills and behaviors they need for a second chance at life in the wild.

We’re deeply grateful to our fintastic conservation partners at Aquarium of the Pacific and Shedd Aquarium for helping us bring this whiskered and resilient duo home! 🫶

Plan your visit to meet Suri and Willow face-to-fluffy-face here on exhibit, or tune into our live Sea Otter Cam to catch a glimpse of them alongside raftmates Ivy, Opal, and Selka!
