Who needs a toboggan? River otters have long, cylindrical, streamlined bodies that are covered with short, dense, waterproof fur. These adaptations make them great at swimming and very skilled at sledding. Now we just need another snowfall!

"Otterly" amazing! As Sea Otter Appreciation Week swims off, we thought we would share a few more fun facts. . . 🦦 Sea otters are the hairiest animals on the planet! The only places they don't have fur are on their paws and nose, which are conveniently kept out of the water while sleeping on their backs. 🦦 Tap, tap, tap – these animals use tools like rocks to help them crack open hard-shelled prey. When they are done with their handy hammers, they can store them in special loose skin folds nea

Support Ollie and Monte this Sea Otter Appreciation Week! The Detroit Zoo recently welcomed rescued Southern sea otters - Monte and Ollie - to their new home in the Arctic Ring of Life. The pair came to the Zoo after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued an urgent plea to accredited zoos asking them to give sanctuary to sea otters in dire need of homes. Southern sea otters are endangered and at risk due to human threats such as pollution, oil spills, marine debris and over-fishing. You can m

Let's play! 🏈 We had a little football-themed fun with enrichments this week in anticipation of the big game. The sea otters were given special ice treats colored for New England and Seattle. The lemurs had the same choices, plus a special third option. Watch to see who the experts chose. #DetroitZoo #Football #SundayFunDay #Enrichments | Detroit Zoo

Did you know otters perform a poopy dance? When using the latrine, otters will lift their tail and stomp with their back feet! The behavior is still being studied but it's believed to aid in scent marking. World Otter Day is tomorrow!

The zookeepers were totally stoked to celebrate Finn turning 4! 🏄‍♂️ It may be winter, but this beach-themed birthday party made us want to catch a wave. 🌊 Watch as all three sea otters enjoy the specially made ice treats filled with craveable crustaceans that help encourage natural behaviors.
