Rescued baby sea otter pup reunited with its mother

Rescue workers reunited a sea otter pup with her mother on Thursday, May 26, in Morro Bay, California.

The Marine Mammal Center says it is rare to be able to successfully reunite a mother and her pup as they were able to do.

The Marine Mammal Center and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife received calls of a female pup, less than two days old, that had drifted away from her mother because of a strong incoming tide.

The two groups retrieved the pup from near a pier, guided by the directions given by concerned individuals. Heather Harris, a veterinarian with the center, who shot this video, was included in the group.

The pup was alert, had no wounds and wasn’t stressed, the Marine Mammal Center said, so the group attempted to reunite the pup with her mother.
