River Otters
Possibly our 2010 award winners for cutest patients. These adorable young River Otters were actually admitted separately, but were so close in age we were able to raise them together. In fact, they formed a fast bond and would protect one another when we entered the room to clean it.
We were fortunate to receive approval from the US Fish and Wildlife Service to release the otters in the protected land and waters of the Minnesota River Valley.
