Oh baby! Otter born at Aquarium
JENKS - After weeks of speculation, it's time for a baby shower, or rather a splash at the Oklahoma Aquarium. A one-month-old North American River Otter baby, or pup is taking its first public steps and swimming with mama otter's help.
On September 26th, biologists were on high alert, as the female exhibited behavior of going into labor and then remained in her den for an extended length of time. Otters can be very defensive, so it was with great caution that Aquarium staff peered into the den and verified a baby had been born. It has just been in the last few days that the mother otter started bringing the baby out of the den.
Curiosity over the pup's gender will have to wait. It may be a full year before biologists can identify if the baby is a male or female.

Watch this adorable video of the baby's first appearance in public and first swimming lessons :) Have a great Wee Wednesday
