Tazo, Rescued Sea Otter, Makes Public Debut At New York Aquarium

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – There's a new addition to the Wildlife Conservation Society's New York Aquarium.

Tazo, an orphaned northern sea otter, is making his public debut. He was rescued when he was only 3-weeks-old after he was found stranded and separated from his mother during a storm.   

He's been at the aquarium since last August and keepers say Tazo is playful and outgoing with a great personality.
