Via Oregon Zoo, which has a bit of trivia for you:

A group of river otters is called:

A. A bevy

B. A romp

C. Adorable

D. All of the above

And the answer is ... D! A group of river otters has several names, including a bevy or a romp. And they're always adorable no matter what you call them!

Personally, I think romp really fits best.

Elmwood Park Zoo recently held an election. Guests voted to elect a president of the resident animals there. The clear winner was Piper, the river otter. 

I haven't heard what she promised her constituents.

A sea otter pup recently stranded on the beach at Morro Bay 😰 Here’s how our San Luis Obispo team reunited Caterpillar with its mom👇

⏳ Searched for mom by boat for 2 hours
🔊 Recorded & played the pup’s vocalizations over a Bluetooth speaker
👀 Watched a female otter following & approaching the boat many times
🦦 Placed the pup into the water for mom

After Caterpillar and mom were reunited, the team watched for another hour to be sure the pair was safe. We love a happy ending 🤩 Special thank you to our friends at the Morro Bay Harbor Department for assisting us with this rescue.
