Headline: RAW VIDEO: Otter Pups Have First Outdoor Swim At Cincinnati Zoo
Caption: **VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE** Cincinnati Zoo’s Asian small-clawed otter pups Ripple, Splash, Puddles, and Scuttle have completed their swimming lessons and will now enter their outdoor habitat in Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden’s Elephant Trek starting tomorrow! “Mom, Munti, and dad, Flounder have done a great job teaching the pups to swim in pools in their indoor space, so they’re ready to go outside,” said Victoria Morelli, Cincinnati Zoo’s zoological manager of primates. “They do still nap a lot, so visitors may or may not see them at certain times of day.” Morelli added that visitors should expect unbearable cuteness, sibling squabbles, and “otter chaos!” Ripple, Splash, Puddles, and Scuttle were born May 9, 2025, and have been bonding with their parents behind the scenes since then. “The care team has been working round the clock to ensure that these little ones are healthy, happy, and ready for their next adventure,” said Morelli. “It’s National Zookeeper Week, so please give a thank you or high five to the otter keepers if you see them.”
