Shell-ebrate with us as our snack-gobbling queen, Ivy, turns 12 this month! 🎉🦦💞This bright blonde sea otter was found as a stranded pup on Cayucos State Beach by our Sea Otter Program and became a part of our otter family in 2012. Named after a character in John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”, Ivy steals hearts with her playful antics and otterly charming personality. In addition to being an amazing animal ambassador, she’s also a sea-riously sensational surrogate mom to other stranded otter pups that are rescued and released. Happy Birthday, Ivy, you marvelous mustelid!
