Sound on! Otterly adorable news! Overnight, Munti, the Asian small-clawed otter, gave birth to a litter of pups—earlier than expected! Munti is a first-time mom and with that comes some risk. We are currently in a critical three-day window for the pups, but hearing hearty squeaks that sound healthy is a great sign! Munti, dad Flounder, and the pups are now tucked into their nest, out of view. Because of this, the team hasn’t yet been able to confirm the number of pups. The otter family will remain off habitat for around the next eight weeks while they bond and care for their pups behind the scenes. During this time, the care team is closely monitoring their health and remains cautiously optimistic. Stay tuned on the Zoo’s social media pages for pupdates.
