An awesome adventure into the wondrous world of scientific discovery!
Patrick Webster visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California as a young, curious kid. There he fell in love with the sea otters that called the aquarium home. After studying marine biology and volunteering with the otters for 4 and a half years, Patrick now works at the aquarium as a member of the social media team. On this episode, Patrick takes us on a behind the scenes look at the sea otter program at the aquarium. If you can’t make it to the aquarium in person, you can watch the live sea otter cam on the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s website (https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/animals-and-experiences/live-web-cams/sea-otter-cam).
Music on this episode was written by Jeff and Theresa Brooks and Sound of Picture.
