Cute! Record number of otter pups at Elkhorn Slough

There’s a record number of otter pups in the Elkhorn Slough, according to Capt. Giancarlo Thomae with Elkhorn Slough Safari.

Thomae said there’s usually only about one or two this time of year, but that he’s spotted eight of them.

Thomae said he hasn’t seen this many endangered otter pups in the slough in 20 years. With that being said, he’s advising people to be careful, quiet, and keep a distance of at least 100 feet. He also recommends going out with a professional to see them.
