A stranded and orphaned baby sea otter is getting a second chance, thanks to the Seattle Aquarium.

In early August, this sea otter pup showed up on Rialto Beach on the Washington Coast. He was only about 3 weeks old, very thin and very weak.

The otter is now fit and healthy after getting over pneumonia.

Unfortunately, he can't stay in Seattle because the aquarium is full. And it's very hard to release otters back into the wild.

So the aquarium has found him a new home at the aquarium in Vancouver, B.C. Rialto is expected to make the journey to his new home sometime in September.
