Four Orphaned River Otters Reunite with the Wild
T
he journey of these otters began under difficult circumstances. Two of the otters were abandoned after their dens were disturbed by humans looking to displace the animals from under the decks of households, where sadly they are considered by some to be nuisance animals. Such disruptions, frequently carried out by pest control companies, can cause otter mothers to flee, leaving their young vulnerable and alone. After receiving a call from a homeowner who discovered the abandoned pups, the PAWS team sprang into action to ensure their survival. While at PAWS, the otters received round-the-clock care and transitioned from drinking formula to a diet of fish and other solid foods. Soon, they were joined by two more orphaned pups that were transferred to PAWS from another A river otter pup sleeping after a feeding session at PAWS.
