From time to time, you may see other animals in the sea otter habitats. The marine mammals at the Seattle Aquarium have been trained to move from one habitat to another as needed to support animal management and so we may safely clean the habitats. You may occasionally see, for example, a fur seal in one of the sea otter habitats. A series of gates and doors keeps the marine mammals safely separated even though they may appear to be in the same area.
