Sea Otter Cam

The Sea Otters Exhibit

This live webcam looks down into the Sea Otters exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, a rocky pool home to a group of rescued southern sea otters. The carefully sculpted enclosure recreates the kelp-fringed coastal habitat these animals depend on, complete with haul-out rocks and a deep swimming pool.

Playful Marine Mammals

Famous for their energetic antics, the otters wrestle, dive, and groom their dense fur throughout the day. Enrichment toys and feeding sessions encourage their natural foraging behaviors, giving viewers a constant stream of endearing activity to follow.

Conservation Ambassadors

The aquarium's female sea otters are all non-releasable rescues that serve as ambassadors for their species, and several act as surrogate mothers within the aquarium's renowned Sea Otter Program. Their presence here highlights decades of work to recover the threatened southern sea otter population.
