Saving Otter 501 produced by Nature on PBS.
Plot: Sea otters, once common throughout the Pacific coast, now struggle to survive. Some fail to, leaving their pups orphaned. This is the story of one such otter. Otter 501 was found at a very young age. Too small to hunt, groom, or swim, she would never survive in the ocean on her own. So sea otter rescuers set out to raise her for release. They receive help from Toola, another rescued otter with skills in parenting orphaned otters. Even with all the help, though, 501 has a rough life ahead of her.
Genre: Documentaries, Animals
Reading Level: Rated TV-G, if recall serves. However, sensitive viewers may need caution, since some otters get hurt or die throughout the documentary.
Similar Titles: Leave it to Beavers, Yellowstone Otters
Personal Thoughts: The title offers plenty of footage of adorable baby otters. It also manages to explain the difficulties in releasing otters and potential problems for new releases. The importance of otters in their native habitat finds effective mention, as well.
Apparently, it's mustelid week at Charlin at the Library.
