This video shows rescued sea otters showing off their basketball skills – by dunking pumpkins into mini hoops.
Footage filmed last week (Oct 24) shows Lincoln, Juno and Sushi slamming the pumpkins in a custom-made hoop mounted to the rock wall of their habitat.
The trio regularly take part in positive reinforcement training, which is part of the Oregon Zoo’s enrichment program.
The basketball routine plays a critical role in the animals’ well-being as it keep the otters active, strengthens their bond with staff and gives their joints a healthy workout.
