All

The Monterey Bay Aquarium sits right on the edge of Monterey Bay on the California coast and is especially known for its work to protect sea otters. For many years it has run a programme to rescue and rehabilitate stranded otter pups, and most of the otters on exhibit are rescued animals that could not be returned to the wild.

The aquarium's official stream shows the sea otters swimming, playing, interacting and feeding. Sea otters have one of the densest furs of any animal and spend much of their time grooming it. Feeding sessions and playtime are the liveliest moments, and their back-floating rests are a delight.
