This week, we are highlighting our river otter. According to our keepers, she likes to put things on her head (produce, rocks, and ice) and loves to hang out with people at her window. We're thinking she would love to see you soon! Our keepers use enrichment techniques which enhance the animal's experience. Watch This Cutie Chow Down!
