If you’ve never met him before, this is fan-favorite Luke the river otter 🦦💙

Luke lives with his best buddy Talon, and the two are young, playful, and always on the move! You can usually spot them swimming, splashing, and putting on a show for everyone watching!

Want to tell them apart?
Luke has a lighter neck and belly, while Talon is a bit darker!

You can also symbolically adopt animals like Luke through our Adopt a Wild Child program:
