'Huron' the otter introduced as newest Florida Aquarium resident
The Florida Aquarium introduced their new North American river otter, named 'Huron.' He is the third otter resident at the Tampa aquarium.
TAMPA, Fla. - There's an adorable new addition joining the "romp" at The Florida Aquarium.
On Wednesday, aquarium officials formally introduced their new North American river otter, "Huron." He's named after Lake Huron, because it is "one of the many places that river otters can be found."
Huron will move in with the aquarium's two other otters, Brandon and Kraken.
According to Audubon, river otters can be found throughout North America and are known to be active, entertaining, and social within their family groups.
