Mother Sea Otter shot

The Monterey Bay Aquarium does everything it
can to protect these adorable sea otters, but there are
some crazy humans out there!

  After a report that a man had shot at a female  sea otter near Moss Landing, the Monterey Bay Aquarium tried to rescue one of the cubs, which the mother had then abandoned.

   Unable to find a surrogate mother sea otter, the cub had to be euthanized. The mother sea otter has not yet been located.  Authorities are investigating and have confiscated a pellet gun from the boat owner involved.
