]]> Today, we learned that Milo, the sea otter in the otter exhibit in the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park whom we here at Mint faithfully check in on several times a day thanks to the aquarium’s webcam (here: http://www.vanaqua.org/ottercam/), has lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system’s lymphatic cells that is the seventh or so most common cancer in humans.

According to the aquarium note, lymphoma in sea otters is very rare, and Milo will be kept outside of public viewing while he receives treatment, so until he returns, his exhibit partner, Tanu, will be swimming around, eating, grooming and sleeping on the water all by herself. We hope Milo has a speed recovery.

And on a related aquarium note, there is also a beluga cam at the Vancouver Aquarium, where you can see the four belugas, including one youngish one, swimming about and diving and surfacing and eating in silence. The webcam is located here: http://www.vanaqua.org/belugacam/

Most of the time he is sleeping on his back, kinda like my cat Ozzie does most of the time as well. But sometimes he gets up and (a) eats or (b) grooms himself, or (c) plays with a ball or a food tube thing, all while floating on his back, kicking…

But sometimes he gets up and (a) eats or (b) grooms himself, or (c) plays with a ball or a food tube thing, all while floating on his back, kicking his feet every now and again.

At one point Milo had company. Nyac, a survivor from the Exxon Valdez oil spill from 20 years ago used to float with Milo, but alas she died.
