Otter Dreams and Other Things | Hugh
Hugh's Aquarium Views Video Number 74
Nearly everyone has a “Happy Place” that they can dream about. My happy place dreams tend to have a lot of otters and other critters in it. In this week’s Hugh’s Aquarium Views video, I try to visually interpret and share some those happy place dreams.

Troy’s Rubber Ducky Retrieval | Hugh
Hugh's Aquarium Views Video Number 72
Retrievals act as both a physical exercise behavior that helps keep our critters fit, and is also a fun activity that is mentally stimulating for the animal. It’s also fun for the staff!

Fern the Zebra Shark | Hugh
Hugh's Aquarium Views Video Number 55
There wasn’t a lot of staff, paid and volunteers, back when the Aquarium of the Pacific first opened in June of 1998 so my early volunteer responsibilities included a lot of duties outside the realm of marine mammal husbandry. One of which was hand feeding sharks including one of the aquarium’s charter animal, Fern.
