Elsie Sweetmitten is a character in aquarium of the pacific in Long Beach, California, and a sea otter puppet! she loves to eat! Since otters need to eat up to 20% of their body weight in food every day, you can always find her snacking on something. She never leaves the house without a clam or two…or five. Sometimes she even stuffs food in her furry armpit pockets for safe keeping. Her hobbies include racing other otters up and down the coast, and grooming her dense fur coat.
