Baby Otters at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Mae, an Asian small-clawed otter mom, gave birth to a litter of adorable pups back in early December. These tiny species of otters are the smallest in the world, and in the photos, you can see mom taking care of one of her pups. Kevin, the dad to these new pups, is also actively involved in taking care of them.
While they are still nursing and bonding with mom backstage, they will soon reach some big milestones — like opening their eyes, trying solid foods, and mastering their swimming skills in the coming months. Keep an eye out for them on Discovery Island in the future!
