SeaWorld San Diego Celebrates Sea Otter Awareness Week

Sea Otter Awareness Week at SeaWorld San Diego, Sept. 23 through 29, 2012

Come join us for the 10th anniversary celebration of Sea Otter Awareness Week at SeaWorld San Diego! Activities will include daily presentations and "Tube Time," where the otters play with frozen tubes stuffed with clams and shrimp. The otters hit the frozen "otter pops" against the rocks of their habitat to dislodge the food, mimicking their natural behavior in the wild. SeaWorld animal care specialists will be on hand to answer questions from guests, and park education specialists will guide children through educational craft projects. Costume character O.P. Otter will stop by to join the festivities and pose for photos.

SeaWorld and Busch Gardens support conservation projects all over the world, including sea otter preservation, through the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund (www.swbg-conservationfund.org).
