Welcome Back Charlie! | Hugh
The critter that pushed the envelope in otter behavior is back in Long Beach.
Charlie the Sea Otter is famous amongst zoological institutions. He was the first sea otter trained to give a voluntary blood sample.

Now that that research is concluded he has returned to his home town of Long Beach.
