Headline: Two Rescued Sea Otter Pups Enjoy A Nap In Cute Pictures

Caption:

Incredibly cute pictures show two rescued sea otters taking a nap.

They were taken at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium where the cute critters are being cared for.

A spokesperson explains: “It may not look like it in these photos, but a lot is going on behind the scenes in Shedd Aquarium's Regenstein Sea Otter Nursery. Two rescued, orphaned sea otter pups, taken in only two weeks ago, are bonding with caretakers as they continue to grow and build important otters' skills.

“Much of an otter's behaviour is not instinctual but is learned by watching mom. So, since mom isn't around, the care team at Shedd is filling that role, providing food, helping the otters learn to groom their fur and more.

“These are busy days for the otters, which are naturally highly-active to help them withstand the cold temperatures in their native waters. But the pups need their sleep as well, so the aquarium decided to share a few photos from nap time.”
