Another great webcam joins the plethora of animal cams! Who can get enough of peeking in on animals as they go about their day?
At seaotters.com/live , the world's first HD live stream of CA sea otters in the wild catches otters at Elkhorn Slough, the largest tract of tidal salt marsh in California outside of the San Francisco Bay. It’s home to the largest concentration of southern sea otters on the California coast. The slough and wetlands provide critical habitat for hundreds of species, including sea otters, sea lions, harbor seals, great egrets and brown pelicans. At the mouth of the Elkhorn Slough sits the Moss Landing Harbor, in which lies a one of a kind spot where otters love to hang out together to play, groom, eat, and nap. Go take a look!
Be sure to follow seaotters.com on social media. I'm pretty sure it's all manned by humans rather than those dexterous pawed cuties, but you'll find it's a good place to get updates on how to enjoy and help preserve these creatures.

I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.

There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.
