Otter Cove February 26, 2010

The Great Lakes Aquarium's Otter Cove is modeled after a place where otters live in the wild -- the real Otter Cove found on the Eastern shore of Lake Superior in Canada's Pukaskwa Provincial Park. The exhibit is home to two North American river otters named Anang and Zhoosh. These otters were orphaned when too young to survive in the wild on their own. Due to the human contact required to care for them while young, and their lack of the necessary otter skills, both otters will remain permanent residents of Great Lakes Aquarium.
