Eddie, a sea otter at the Oregon Zoo, died this morning, as reported by the Oregonian. He was 20, a remarkably old age for otters, which usually live to be around 15. He was beloved for his abilities to dunk on a toy basketball hoop.
Aside from the dunking, Eddie was also known for…..playing with himself.
The Oregon Zoo sent out a tribute on Eddie’s behalf.
In loving memory of Eddie.
At nearly 21, he was one of the oldest and most-loved sea otters on the planet. pic.twitter.com/mteRMVlmNF— Oregoth Boo (@OregonZoo) December 20, 2018
