Riro, from the aquarium Marine World Uminonakamichi, has passed away today, 2025/1/4 (Japan). He was 17; They say his health has been deteriorating. The aquarium has been raising sea otters continuously since 1989, but Riro was the last sea otter they had. That means the only captive sea otters in Japan are Kira and May at the Toba aquarium.https://marine-world.jp/news/post-7034/
It's always sad when an otter passes away but they had lived a long time and at least they didnt suffer in the end. He certainly was the cool uncle, such an ambassador, he will be missed.
