On Thursday, May 20, members of the press were invited to the
Aquarium of the Pacific to explore the new Molina Animal Care Center
and the BP Sea Otter Habitat. Attendees were allowed to venture
behind the scenes of the new animal hospital and talk with the
Aquarium's veterinarian, sea otter biologists, and other experts. The
new animal care center is one of the few places where the public can
watch aquatic medicine in action firsthand from exams to surgeries. n
