Lana vanagasem, shedd’s manager of penguins, sea otters and dogs, was a temporary full-time animal care specialist when the 3-month-old sea otter arrived. “she was the first sea otter pup i helped to hand-raise,” she said.. Luna the sea otter was rescued from the rocky shores of central california, where she was found alone, cold, and hungry. after spending several weeks at the monterey bay aquarium in monterey, california, the orphaned otter moved to her permanent home at the shedd aquarium in chicago, illinois .. Shedd’s sea otter pup is 12 weeks old, weighs 12 pounds and has a new name: luna! in case you haven’t gotten enough cuteness since this little one arrived at shedd on oct. 28 (and is there such a thing as too much sea otter cuteness?), here’s luna’s baby album to date!.
The shedd family was heartbroken to say goodbye to beloved sea otter mari on feb 8, 2018. mari came to shedd as a rescued pup and found a lifetime home at the aquarium. she served as an education ambassador for her species to millions of guests over the last 14 years, and she will be deeply missed.. Luna was rescued along the southern california coast by state wildlife officials and taken to monterey bay aquarium, a leader in sea otter rehabilitation. shedd, with 25 years of experience in caring for fragile sea otter pups, quickly accepted monterey bay’s call to provide the tiny orphan with a permanent home.. Shedd’s newest resident is an orphaned southern sea otter pup. watch as she arrives at shedd and gets to know her new family!.
