This Sea Otter Squad Had The Snowiest Snow Day At Vancouver Aquarium

Snow might seem like a nuisance for some, but for six rescued sea otters who live at the Vancouver Aquarium, a snow day is one of the best days of the year!

Tanu, Katmai, Mak, Kunik, Rialto and our favorite little pup Hardy all joined in on the fun. They spent the whole day rolling around in the fluffy white stuff, and we get a treat by being able to watch the action!

This snow day wasn’t all about the otters getting to roll around in the snow, the trainers at Vancouver Aquarium called it a “snowball enrichment session.”

“Enrichment sessions are an important part of everyday care for marine mammals living at Vancouver Aquarium,” the aquarium said in a release. “These sessions provide mental and physical stimulation for the animals and strengthen bonds with their trainers.”

But most enrichment sessions don’t actually involve snow since snowfall is relatively uncommon in Vancouver.

Can’t get enough of this sea otter squad? Vancouver Aquarium offers a live Sea Otter Cam and the Underwater Otter Cam!
