Sea Otters Now at Cincinnati Zoo 

Chloe and Kevin the Southern Sea Otters are some of the newest residents of Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. At 13 years old, Chloe is an elder otter while Kevin is a youngster at the age of 1 ½. Kevin was abandoned as a pup and rescued and rehomed by humans from the Sea Otter Recovery Program. Chloe and Kevin call Sea Otter Coast home. Zoo guests will have the opportunity to see the Southern Sea Otters above the water, amongst native plants. The lower otter viewing area allows guests to see the otters’ aquatic adaptations in use!
