Sailor turned 19 [two weeks ago] 🥳🦦 and that’s something worth celebrating!

North American river otters typically live to about 13 years in their natural range, so Sailor’s longevity is a strong reflection of the care he receives here at the Zoo.

Our teams work hard to meet his physical, mental, and social needs, and milestones like this are a reminder of how important conservation programs like ours are!

Let’s all stretch with Un’a for her physical therapy exercises. If able to, spread your arms out wide above your head. Feel the stretch!

Now, as Un’a does, you get a snack as a reward 🤣
