(18:53) CARMEL/MONTEREY – An otter pup, that was separated from her mother, is now being cared for at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Otter 719 is currently in the Intensive Care Unit at the aquarium, after washing up on Carmel Beach earlier today. rescuers carried the pup along the surf line, in hopes the mother would hear her baby’s cries , but the surf was rough and the mother was not found.
Officials hope to be able to find a surrogate mother for the pup, so she can learn what she needs to know, and be released back into the wild (once she’s a bit older).
