rescue

The young otter has extensive facial injuries. He was rescued from a sheltered hallway of an apartment complex several blocks from the water.

The Alaska Air National Guard rescued three hunters in two separate helicopter missions Sunday.

The female calf was likely left on its own after a walrus herd passed through a beach area. The calf is believed to be no more than a few weeks old.

The Alaska SeaLife Center recently admitted a premature harbor seal pup for treatment after it was found abandoned in Kenai. The pup is the center's second harbor seal patient this season.

Months after being found stranded in Kenai, a young otter pup is thriving in captivity in another part of the country. Those caring for the animal say they hope to introduce it to other captive sea otters this week.
