Sending you a virtual river otter cuddle this #NationalHugDay! 🦦 Charlie and Beau regularly steal our hearts with their snuggly nature, but we could all take a page out of their book on this chilly winter day ❄️

Even though we're currently closed to the public, we have a dedicated rideout team to weather the storm and stay overnight at the Aquarium, ensuring every animal stays safe and healthy throughout this frosty weather ❄️ But even these heroes need a little winter fun!
