Roses are red; violets are blue … who’d believe thatotterssend valentines, too?
Using otter-safe red and pink paint, Harry, Teddy, Peanut, Jelly, and Saco are creating “Ottergrams,” which will be sent to fans and hospital patients for Valentine’s Day.
The aquarium is holding an “Ottergram Sweepstakes” this year, which can beentered online. Ten winners randomly selected on Valentine’s Day will receive one of the paw-printed masterpieces in the mail.

The painted cards will also be distributed to local hospitals in an effort to lift the spirits of patients spending Valentine’s Day away from home.
In addition to painting, the otters enjoy a variety of other enriching activities, such as playing with toys and swimming, according to the aquarium’s communications director, Lynsey Winters.
Saco, Harry, Jelly, and Teddy are all siblings, born in 2018. Peanut is a year older. Each otter in the pack has their own lovable characteristics, ranging from being “very talkative” to performing crowd-pleasing backflips.
