Watch Sea Otter and Her Pup Be Reunited Via the Squeak System

Via Monterey Bay Aquarium, which writes:

Sometimes when you are lost, you don’t have to look too far to find your home.

✨Thanks to our sea otter team who made this swift reunion last week between mother and pup.

Sea otter pups can become stranded when storms separate them or when they drift away while mom is diving for food. Once alone, these pups have little to no chance of survival.

This lucky pair was reunited quickly, found less than a mile apart. The healthy pup was returned to the water as soon as mom was spotted calling out in response to pup’s SQUEE.

Our expert team holds permits from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to carry out this important work. We’ve released over 80 sea otter pups back into the wild where they belong. 

Here’s to many more reunions.
