About seaotter.cam

seaotter.cam is a free directory of live sea otter webcams from aquariums and wild habitats around the world. Some streams play right here from YouTube; others open on the aquarium’s own site.

Why otters?

Sea otters are a keystone species that protect whole kelp forest ecosystems. They were hunted nearly to extinction during the fur trade, and today many aquariums rescue, rehabilitate and give lifelong care to orphaned pups who can’t survive in the wild. Watching them is a joyful reminder of why conservation matters.

A cam is offline — what happened?

Aquariums sometimes restart their live streams, which can change a YouTube video ID, and some cams only run at certain hours (see the info panel under each stream). If a cam stays broken, let us know and we’ll fix it.
