Question: What's with the creepy cult suits? Nearly all animals are afraid of large, black peices of cloth and even if it serves to "disconnect the keeper" it honestly seems so against it's purpose of rehabilitating these animals, even if the animals are to be released into the wild.

Well that is true otter likely to adopt an ophan cub if their parents die or abandoned them

The keepers actually have to wear those masks and cloaks so that the Otters don’t recognize them and won’t get attached. Otter pups can actually get separation anxiety from being separated from a keeper that they are used to.

Yep. Also, on the flipside that's why they gave the pup a number and not a name so the keepers did not develop any attachment either so their focus remains on helping the pup survive. It's hard when you have such a cute and very social animal like that. They are not pets though, and it's sad that each time people see some new animal, like those tiny lemurs that became all popular several years ago, they rush out to get one without realizing it's just fueling the poaching and habitat destruction of those animals.

For those of you who think this clip is amazing, even if you think it's just ok, you have to see the full episode of Saving Otter 501. It's a must see. I loved it so much I saved it on my DVR from 7 years ago. There's cuteness overload of course, you'll be taken on a rollercoaster of emotions (keep tissues handy) and you'll be overjoyed seeing this helpless orphaned pup grow up to be a major success, not to mention his foster mom who is a major rockstar in her own right. There are so many things that have to go right in order for these pups to survive. Many thanks to the people at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (my fave!) for working tirelessly to save these precious animals. Thanks PBS for bringing this to us!

Awe, seeing Tula swimming around the pool with the baby nestled happily & contentedly on her tummy, I cried. God's blessings to Tula & baby!!!

1:15 "playing it cool or just not interested" Watch the way that Tula is constantly rolling on her back, offering her tummy for 501 to lie on her. More like she's trying to offer a save a warm place for 501 to rest on.

Otters are one of the most wholesome animals. They hold hands when they sleep, -and now they adopt baby otters that aren’t theirs. Holy shit.

Brought tears to my eyes! Such a beautiful bond between them!

Mothers are vital in their children’s lives. Good thing Mother’s Day is coming to show them our appreciation

tulla, the og surrogate mother

And it was the absolute most amazing feeling to watch the baby in the end, being held close and laying on the new adopting mom otter. So so so blissful and in every way touching to watch. If I understood otter facial expressions, and could see the baby's face, i'd claim it looked so happy to get a real mom for however long its childhood will last.

This is the most adorable video I've ever seen. Precious. Heat-warming that mother & child animals can bond this way.

When they swam together I cried. How tf can they be so cute

Am I the only one who teared up when when the pup accepted the surrogate mother? Loved it!

Awww - it must demand the biggest heart and compassion for otters to manage to stay detached and not give in to the orphans needs to bond. No doubt its saying the otters in the future so they dont get too used to humans and too reliant to life in captivity. But waiting patiently while attempting to make the female otter accept a baby, when the baby is all alone and scared and just want the comfort of the handlers, must be extremely hard. Only the most professional and caring handlers will be able to stay cool and not get tempted to collect the baby back into human nursing again.

grytlappar You're so right. And I think we all think of that whenever we watch videos like this and just in general in life. I always try to only think of the reward and meaningfulness for the animal whenever I myself standby to witness rescue releases as a consultant vet, but I couldn't be the keepers who stand by the cages and free the precious souls they've cared for with all their passion. Although they always feel emotional because they are so happy for the animal who gets to return to the wild, they also often feel a little sting of sadness and grief. Its a demanding job to do what these people do and they have all my respect and praise.

My instincts definitely say she was playing it cool and trying not to rush or further scare the pup. The baby was very scared and it’s a great childcare strategy to just live peacefully in the same space as a child, offer interaction and pull back if they’re scared to build trust and comfort by respecting their space. And lovingly nurture them when they open up. Very beautiful
