Heart-melting moment an otter pup is reunited with its mom!


Morro Bay Harbor Patrol responded to a report of an otter pup crying out for it's mother but unable to locate her on it's own. With the help of The Marine Mammal Center volunteers, veterinarian Dr. Heather Harris and Fish and Wildlife Senior Environmental Scientist/Sea Otter Biologist, Mike Harris, the pup was determined to be less than 12 hours old. After a search through the bay, the match was made and the pup was reunited with her mother. Relief was felt by all.
