TOFINO, B.C. — A second abandoned sea otter has been rescued in B.C. waters, marking the first time the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Society has had to take care of two fragile pups at the same time.
A statement from the society says the northern sea otter, named Luna, was found July 13 on Vargas Island, near Tofino, B.C., with remnants of her umbilical cord still attached.
It says the animal is in critical condition and her prognosis"remains guarded" since pups cannot swim, hunt, or regulate their body temperature on their own at this age.
