In June 2010, a fuzzy baby otter was found alone and dehydrated on a beach in Alaska, so two passersby contacted the Alaska SeaLife Center, who rescued him and began bottle-feeding him every two hours. After a few days, Tazo perked up and began playing and splashing around, and in August he was transported to the New York Aquarium. The adorable little guy couldn’t be released back into the wild because he’d become too dependent on humans.
