Sea Otter Awareness Week at Shedd Aquarium (IL)

Shedd Aquarium’s five Alaska sea otters are enjoying the hospitality of another aquarium during the renovation of the Oceanarium, now through June of 2009, but Enhydra lutris fans can read all about them on Shedd's website.

And get a special Sea Otter Awareness Week update from the trainer who’s offsite with them on the Oceanarium page.

Meanwhile, you can still see otter – Shedd's river otter, that is –  every day. Plan a day trip to Camp Shedd, conveniently located in the aquarium’s Local Waters gallery, to learn more about sea otters’ relatives in Illinois during a river otter chat, have an up-close encounter with other animals that share the Great Lakes watershed with river otters and hear tales about these playful otters during storytelling times.
