Baby Paws!

Take a pause for paws!

Sea otters have two very different kinds of paws, each with a special job. Their small, sensitive front paws have retractable claws and tough pads that help them catch prey and even use tools to open shells. Their large, webbed back paws work like flippers, propelling them through the water.

With four otter pup patients in our care, it's all hands on deck to provide the best care possible for these little ones.

Thank you for caring about these animals the way we do. If you’d like to be part of these pups' recovery journey, your support truly makes a difference: https://www.alaskasealife.org/donate
