Question: What's with the creepy cult suits? Nearly all animals are afraid of large, black peices of cloth and even if it serves to "disconnect the keeper" it honestly seems so against it's purpose of rehabilitating these animals, even if the animals are to be released into the wild.

The keepers actually have to wear those masks and cloaks so that the Otters don’t recognize them and won’t get attached. Otter pups can actually get separation anxiety from being separated from a keeper that they are used to.

Yep. Also, on the flipside that's why they gave the pup a number and not a name so the keepers did not develop any attachment either so their focus remains on helping the pup survive. It's hard when you have such a cute and very social animal like that. They are not pets though, and it's sad that each time people see some new animal, like those tiny lemurs that became all popular several years ago, they rush out to get one without realizing it's just fueling the poaching and habitat destruction of those animals.

@@chels1542 why would tula be training orphaned otters for rerelease if she cant be released herself? You’re so gullible, these “sanctuaries” profit off these animals in order to pay their staff and fund their facility. Of course they won’t release their source of profit. Are you really that ignorant? How do you think they obtained her in the first place? She was wild until they captured her, I know they would never release such an asset, but captivity is fucking disgusting, you probably love going to seaworld, and you believe the staff when they tell you the orcas are happy. Ignorance must be bliss.

For those of you who think this clip is amazing, even if you think it's just ok, you have to see the full episode of Saving Otter 501. It's a must see. I loved it so much I saved it on my DVR from 7 years ago. There's cuteness overload of course, you'll be taken on a rollercoaster of emotions (keep tissues handy) and you'll be overjoyed seeing this helpless orphaned pup grow up to be a major success, not to mention his foster mom who is a major rockstar in her own right. There are so many things that have to go right in order for these pups to survive. Many thanks to the people at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (my fave!) for working tirelessly to save these precious animals. Thanks PBS for bringing this to us!

It traps air and keeps them warm, so they don't need (and don't have) blubber like other sea animals. I love this: before the mom swims away to hunt for food, she spends a long time fluffing up her baby's fur; this makes the pup "unsinkable". Unsinkable... Haha. Buoyant indeed!

Awww - it must demand the biggest heart and compassion for otters to manage to stay detached and not give in to the orphans needs to bond. No doubt its saying the otters in the future so they dont get too used to humans and too reliant to life in captivity. But waiting patiently while attempting to make the female otter accept a baby, when the baby is all alone and scared and just want the comfort of the handlers, must be extremely hard. Only the most professional and caring handlers will be able to stay cool and not get tempted to collect the baby back into human nursing again.

+wirina holstein - They're probably thinking about the reward it means for the pup if it does work! For him/her to have a chance to float around on his new mom's tummy like that... And for the pup to be taught how to fish, how to open mussel shells, which only another otter could do. He couldn't be released otherwise.

grytlappar You're so right. And I think we all think of that whenever we watch videos like this and just in general in life. I always try to only think of the reward and meaningfulness for the animal whenever I myself standby to witness rescue releases as a consultant vet, but I couldn't be the keepers who stand by the cages and free the precious souls they've cared for with all their passion. Although they always feel emotional because they are so happy for the animal who gets to return to the wild, they also often feel a little sting of sadness and grief. Its a demanding job to do what these people do and they have all my respect and praise.

These are professionals, don't tag them as "dog owners." They know HOW AND WHY the otters need to be replaced into the wild. The don't get attached to them like we do with dogs. They understand the only full life an otter has IS the wild. Sentimental is part of the territory but believe me, they got this down pat.

You don't name an animal which is going to be released into the wild. First reason, it'll be too much names to think of for each animal. Second, you don't wanna get emotionally attached to an animal that's going to be released anyway.

@Eric Burkheimer they were born in the wild and will always belong to the wild. What we can do right now is not to always babysit them, but to fix and make sure that this earth is a habitable place for all living beings. Small things like decreasing meat consumption (I'm not telling you to be a vegetarian or vegan but at least decrease the meat and increase the plant base food, even I'm still an omnivore), decreasing the use of plastics, not wasting good food and let it rot just like that, use less tissues and papers, reducing carbon footprint even if it's a tiny amount and etc. Just like how a wise man once said : "The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit."

they dont name it so they dont get attached in any shape or form. Which is why the cover in black shielding when feeding the baby and uncover themselves when they drop her into the tank. So a scary experience she sees the humans doing it, and the calming feeding experience she cant see who is doing.
