Sea otters at Monterey Bay Aquarium

Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) inside Monterey Bay Aquarium, and outside at open sea in front of the Aquarium buildings. Although it seems as if the captive otter is making its way through to open sea via a tunnel, this is actually not the case. Nevertheless, Monterey Bay Aquarium's mission is saving injured and orphaned sea otters to return them to the wild.
