Wishing that the new year brings you as much joy as this picture of Ruby chomping on ice. 🦦🧊

Every week, our sea otter team prepares a frosty feast of ice cubes and tasty treats packed in ice molds for our resident sea otters. This enrichment keeps the otters and their sharp teeth busy and helps with hydration too!

Sea otters are one of the few marine mammals that can drink seawater—thanks to their otterly impressive kidneys, which filter out excess salt! Still, most of their hydration comes from the food they eat.
