We are otterly ecstatic to welcome Huck, Pippi and Jane into the Mote family!

The exhibit features North American river otters and provides an otter’s-eye view of their watershed homes. Watersheds — lands that drain water toward rivers, estuaries and the sea — are important to people and myriad wildlife, including river otters, their prey and many animals from land to the coastal oceans where Mote Marine Laboratory scientists carry out their research.

Visitors will see otters that were orphaned too young to survive alone and were raised by wildlife rehabilitators.
