So what is it like volunteering every Saturday with the critters at the Aquarium of the Pacific? Well here’s a short video to give you a glimpse.

There is an app that allows you to accumulate 1 second videos clips from your daily activities. I decided to use that app to put together a visual representation of a little over a year’s worth of my Saturday volunteer shifts with the husbandry department in under 60 seconds.

Looking at them as a whole surprised me on just how many cute clips of sea otters, penguins, sea lions and other critters I’ve accumulated during that time frame. Some taken by me. Some taken by other staffers. And some taken by the animals themselves.

Check out the video. There might be a moment or two in it that will make you want to become a volunteer at the Aquarium of the Pacific.
