Exciting news! A baby otter boy has just made his debut, and it’s a heartwarming story that’s sure to brighten your day. Early in the morning, a mama otter seemed more cuddly than usual. By evening, her teats became noticeably tense, a sign she was about to give birth. Despite initial doubts about her pregnancy—an earlier vet visit had suggested a phantom pregnancy—she went into labor.

The baby was born around 4 AM, and it was a smoother experience compared to her first birth. Unlike last time, when she was distressed and wouldn’t let anyone near, this time she seemed calmer and immediately began caring for her newborn. The baby otter, a lively little boy, is already making adorable noises and seems to be thriving.

The other otters responded with gentle coos to the new arrival. It’s touching to see how the new mother has adapted to caring for her baby and how well the little one is feeding.
