Buttonwood Park Zoo welcomed three North American river otter pups on March 17. The pups are getting acclimated to their surroundings and are learning to swim. Zoo Director Keith Lovett said the babies are expected to be introduced into the zoo’s otter habitat in the coming weeks and a naming contest will be announced soon. He said it is likely that the otter pups will leave the zoo once they reach sexual maturity and move to another accredited zoo as part of a larger breeding program.
