As part of a conservation effort for North American river otters, the Buffalo Zoo has announced the arrival of Cedrick, a male otter who will be paired with the organization's two female otters, Mindy and Poppy.
While the North American river otter is no longer considered a threatened species, the breeding partnership between the Buffalo Zoo and the Milwaukee County Zoo is meant to strengthen the population of the species while staying in its native range.
The North American species can be found across the northeastern United States and large swaths of Canada.
