About This Camera

A 24/7 YouTube live cam of the Seattle Aquarium's Northern sea otter habitat — featuring rescued otters that cannot be returned to the wild, sharing their exhibit with harbor seals. The aquarium leads conservation work across the Salish Sea ecosystem.

Sea Otter

Enhydra lutris

A keystone marine mammal of the North Pacific, sea otters keep kelp forests healthy by preying on sea urchins. Hunted to near-extinction in the 18th and 19th centuries for the densest fur of any mammal, sea otters survive today in a handful of recovering populations.
