The Monterey Bay Aquarium's newest resident otter, named Opal through an online poll with nearly 30,000 voters, is set to debut this summer. The name Opal, chosen for its colorful association with iridescent gemstones, reflects the otter's playful character. Found abandoned at three weeks old near San Luis Obispo, Opal was deemed unreleasable. She may also participate in the Sea Otter Surrogacy Program, assisting orphaned sea pups by teaching them essential skills for survival. Updates on Opal's journey will be provided via social media and the aquarium's website.
The public has chosen the name Opal for the aquarium's new sea otter resident, reflecting her playful personality and maritime associations.
Opal is the newest resident at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, arriving as a stranded pup and now set to debut this summer.
Proposed to help future orphaned otters, Opal will participate in the Sea Otter Surrogacy Program, teaching survival skills to young pups.
