Looking for something to do this weekend? You OTTER visit WSC’s Prospect Park Zoo!
The zoo’s North American river otter pup (Lontra canadensis) was born back in February – on Valentine’s Day, actually – but is now old enough to come out of his den and meet the public at the Prospect Park Zoo’s Discovery Trail!
According to the Wildlife Conservation Society, river otters are born toothless with closed eyes and stay with their mom in the den until they can develop further and learn to eat solid food.
The little pup is part of the Species Survival Program, designed to keep the gene pools in zoos diverse.
