Birthday Blep!

Via Oregon Coast Aquarium, which writes:

Happy birthday, Schuster! At 14, Schu is the eldest and most dominant member of our sea otter trio. His caretakers describe him as confident and quick to learn. 🧠🦦

In 2011, when Schuster was just a pup, he was found stranded on a beach with a large wound on his side, suggesting he was bitten by a shark. He was taken to Monterey Bay Aquarium for immediate care, where he was soon declared non-releasable. Schuster joined us here at OCAq in 2012. He’s named after Steve Schuster, the pilot who donated his time and aircraft to transport him from California to Oregon.

We love you, Schu!
