South Carolina Aquarium welcomes 2 new otters The addition of the new otters, who just recently turned 1 year old, will ensure that neither Ace nor Stono will be without social support when one passes. (Source: Live 5) By Riley Bean | April 5, 2021 at 10:32 AM EDT - Updated April 5 at 4:01 PM
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - The South Carolina Aquarium is getting two North American river otters.
The South Carolina Aquarium says these young otters came to the Aquarium through a Species Survival Plan program coordinated by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
In 2019, after much thought and consideration, the aquarium’s animal care team says they decided to explore the possibility of adding two new family members to their senior otter duo, Ace and Stono.

By definition it s a collection of animals. Lots of animals. Different animals.
And be they a collection of cats, dogs, whatever - chances are they can t and shouldn t be kept at your house unless you have room for them. Maybe a farm or a zoo.
So how bad would it have to be that if you have so many animals at your house, they had to send over both animal control and THE REAL ZOO to help the situation out?

LANSING, Mich. (AP) Lizards, tarantulas, a prairie dog and a desert tortoise are among about 40 animals removed from a mid-Michigan home during a neglect investigation.
Ingham County Animal Control officers also found rats, mice, an iguana and about two dozen dogs and cats Wednesday at the house in Lansing, the Lansing State Journal reported.
The lizards included geckos and a tegu, which is native to South America, said Animal Control Director Heidi Williams, who described the 22-year-old tortoise as “a pretty good-sized boy.”
“We’ve certainly had large-scale animal seizures, but the variety of the animals was a little bit of a curveball for us,” Williams said.

LANSING, MI – About 40 animals, including lizards, tarantulas, a prairie dog and a 22-year-old desert tortoise, were removed from a Lansing home this week.
Ingham County Animal Control officers also found rats, mice, an iguana and about two dozen dogs and cats, according to the Associated Press.
The Ingham County Animal Shelter is asking for donations to help with the care of the animals, especially the cats.
“With this number of animals, our care and medical staff is taxed to the limit so we will be closing to cat intakes until further notice,” a Facebook post reads. “If you would like to support the shelter while we deal with this large influx of animals, donations of Purina One Cat Food is appreciated as are monetary donations to help offset the cost of medical care.”
