If you have visited the Georgia-Pacific Cold Water Quest gallery at Georgia Aquarium, chances are you know who Gracie is. She was one of the first southern sea otters when she arrived at the Aquarium just prior to opening in October 2005, endearing her to many over the last decade. At 19 years old, Gracie is now showing signs of becoming an older sea otter and has been receiving individualized care and assistance as her mobility and health reach the geriatric phase. She turned 19 years old in February of this year; making her one of the few geriatric sea otters in human care. Her longevity can be vastly attributed to the excellent care she receives at Georgia Aquarium and at the facilities at which she was cared for previously.
