This king got a crown!
Sea otters rely on their incredibly tough teeth to crack through shellfish, and their dental health is closely related to their overall health. As such, we keep a close eye on our sea otters’ teeth and work with veterinarians to provide dental care as necessary!
That said, Oswald recently had a root canal and needed a crown. While it looks gold, it’s made of titanium and has a yellow metallic finish. Oswald is now recovering behind-the-scenes, and his caretakers report that he is doing well.
You can see the crown in the first pic, and check out the link above to see how they applied it!
