PHOTOS & VIDEO: We Got to See the New Baby Otters at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
It’s super exciting whenever a new baby animal debuts at Disney World, and we’ve been lucky to see a few for ourselves! There’s a new baby giraffe, baby tiger Bakso captured everyone’s hearts, and we keep seeing new baby cotton-top tamarins.
Baby Otters Debut in Animal Kingdom
The baby otters have made their debut in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Once we heard they were out and about, we headed right over to Otter Grotto so we could see them for ourselves.
And, sure enough, they were out playing in their exhibit! Their names are Butternut, Biscuit, and Potato and they were born back in December of 2024.
These are Asian small-clawed otters and they were born to parents Kevin and Mae. They’re born with their eyes closed so they were completely dependent on their parents for a few months!
They’ve been teaching them how to be otters, and we think they’ve done a great job because they seemed to be adjusting very well! They were frolicking all over the exhibit.
They’re a little bit hard to distinguish from their parents because they’ve grown a lot and are getting to be the same size as the adults, but if you look closely, they are a tad bit smaller.
Take a look!

I’m obsessed with their names — they’re so funny!
Head on over to Animal Kingdom’s Otter Grotto on Discovery Island to see them for yourself!
