Dopamine alert: Stop what you’re doing and look at CMA’s new resident, Opie the Otter (VIDEO)  

Clearwater Marine Aquarium has welcomed Opie, a young male North American river otter, to its Otter Oasis.

Opie joins the CMA family, where he will reside alongside Walle, 13 years old, and Boomer, 4 years old, two otters that arrived at the aquarium in 2012 and 2018, respectively.

After several weeks of acclimation behind the scenes, Opie has now been introduced to Walle and Boomer where guests will be able to see him adjust to his new habitat.

You’re welcome. Now, get back to work…
