Calvin, Atticus & Emmett

Calvin, Atticus, and Emmett are all wild-caught otters that came from Louisiana to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Calvin arrived as a young adult in 2017, and Atticus and Emmett were brought to the Museum in 2022 as a bonded pair. In Louisiana and many other states, it is legal to trap and sell otters for their fur. The Museum rescued all three otters from being sold into the fur trade, and they will live out their lives in the Ralph Perkins II Wildlife Center & Woods Garden—Presented by KeyBank.
