Sea Otter Pup and Her Enrichment Ball

Via Alaska SeaLife Center, which writes:

Sea otters are among the most intelligent marine mammals on this planet, which means they require frequent mental and physical stimulation.

In the wild, they use tools to crack open prey, manipulate kelp to anchor themselves, and constantly explore their environment. In human care, they don’t face the same daily challenges that living in the wild poses, so enrichment becomes essential to engage their problem-solving skills, curiosity, and playfulness.

Un’a and her clam ball are just one adorable example of the multiple enrichment items she receives daily!
