How does the ASLC and USFWS decide what otters can be release candidates?

Orphaned otter pups admitted as a patient at the ASLC under six months old are considered non-releasable due to their dependence on maternal care and undeveloped survival skills.

Wild otters, particularly adults, often find rehabilitation environments stressful and challenging. Yet, Phantom, still an independent juvenile, has shown promising signs of adjusting. He’s eating well and grooming his coat—essential behaviors that support his recovery and overall health.

The team continues to assess his injury and options for treatment, which may determine whether he can return to the wild. For now, we’re focused on his recovery—step by step, day by day.

Read his in-depth story on our blog, which shows closer images of his injury: https://stories.alaskasealife.org/2024/12/06/juvenileotteradmite2024/
