Capture & Restraint

Sea otters are wily animals! For the safety of the animal and the safety of the staff, special techniques have been developed for restraining sea otters for transport, quick medical procedures such as blood draws, or for routine veterinary assessments.

Some of the techniques require a stuff sack, leather or kevlar gloves, and a holding box, which is a special kennel used for triage and transport.
