🌎 Thank you to everyone who celebrated World Otter Day with us last week! Over 1,200 guests came out to learn about the wonderful world of otters and what we can do to help them thrive.

🦦 We learned about local wild otters with Friends of the Arcata Marsh (FOAM), studied macroinvertebrates in the water, danced the spraint boogie, played trash detective with beach litter, and watched our otters - Toby, Etu, and Takoda - enjoy their snacks throughout the day!

💪 Building awareness helps bridge the gap between conservation and daily life. When we understand why wetlands matter, and why otters depend on them, we’re more likely to protect both.

Hip hip hooray, it's World Otter Day!

World Otter Day takes place on the last Wednesday in May each year. The day was established by International Otter Survival Fund to help draw attention to otters, celebrate them, and raise awareness and support for their conservation globally. The aim is to put otters on the map, and at the forefront of people’s mind!

To protect otters, we also need to better understand how they coexist with people.

Conservation isn’t just about wildlife - it’s about people too. That includes exploring:
🤝 How humans perceive otters in different regions
⚖️ Where and why conflict can occur
🌿 How wetlands support both people and wildlife
💡 Why otters play an important role in healthy ecosystems

Building awareness helps bridge the gap between conservation and daily life. When we understand why wetlands matter, and why otters depend on them, we’re more likely to protect both.

Healthy rivers and wetlands mean:
🐟 More biodiversity
💧 Cleaner water systems
🌍 Stronger ecosystems for everyone

Protecting otters means protecting shared spaces 💚

🦦 Jr. Zookeepers (ages 8-10) will explore hands-on learning about animals - including caring for, feeding, and making special treats for our Zoo ambassadors.

🐐 Zoo Crew (ages 11-15) participants assist zookeepers with animal care tasks in the Barnyard and other projects around the Zoo while also learning about research, enrichment, and training.

The folks from Flying Tails Animal Rescue recently visited the Sequoia Park Zoo to interview animal care staff and get an update on American black bear Kunabulilh (Nabu) for their show on PBS.

Flying Tails is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a simple mission: fly at-risk animals to safety. In practice, that mission covers a lot of ground—and a lot of lives. 🐾

You can learn more about them at FlyingTails.org and watch for Sequoia Park Zoo on an upcoming episode of PBS' Flying Tails. 🐻

We interrupt your scrolling to bring you this photo of Saffron sleeping in a tree. 🥰

As we've said before, red pandas are notoriously sleepy animals - easily snoozing up to 17 hours a day! If you don't see Saffron foraging in his habitat, be sure to check the platforms or trees for a napping panda. 😴
