Rescued and Rehomed
Their proud parents were once victims of the illegal pet trade, but thanks to the Wildlife Alliance and the Phnom Tamao Rescue Centre, they were given a second chance at life. After receiving care and rehabilitation, this bonded pair joined us at AWA, where they quickly settled into their new home.
New Arrivals – Tiny Paws, Big Dreams!
On November 22nd, this loving couple welcomed two beautiful female pups! Since then, the pups have grown fast, gained weight, and stayed close to their devoted parents.
Did You Know? Fun Facts About Otter Pups!
- Otter pups are born with closed eyes and can’t swim immediately.
- They rely entirely on their parents and caregivers for safety and growth during their early weeks.
Our proud otter dad got too excited and tried to give his pups their first swimming lesson earlier than expected! To keep them safe, we’ve temporarily drained their pond while the pups grow stronger.
Don’t worry—once they’re 12 weeks old, we’ll slowly add water to help them learn to swim at their own pace. 🌊✨
