Today we're going to take you around, show you some of our patients and answer some of your questions.

今天，我們將帶您四處參觀，向您展示我們的一些病人，並回答您的一些問題。

So with me I have Dr. Marty Helena and he is going to take us through to our newest patient, to our newest sea otter patient, Tofino and we'll answer some of your questions.

下面有請馬蒂-海倫娜博士（Marty Helena），他將為我們介紹最新的病人，最新的海獺病人託菲諾（Tofino），我們將回答您的一些問題。

Hey everybody, good morning and thanks for joining us.

大家早上好，感謝參加我們的節目。

Yeah, let's have a look at the start of the show.

是的，讓我們看看節目的開頭。

Follow me.

跟我來

He's not in the bathtub.

他不在浴缸裡

Going into our, well what usually is our hospital treatment area, surgery, but has now been converted into the domain of, where is Herb Royal Highness Tofino, who's under 24-hour care still.

進入我們的醫院，通常是我們的治療區、手術區，但現在已經變成了託菲諾殿下的領地，他仍在接受 24 小時護理。

Looks like she just came out of the pool.

看起來她剛從游泳池裡出來。

Emily here, our assistant manager here at the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre is doing the fluff and puff.

我們溫哥華水族館海洋哺乳動物救護中心的經理助理艾米麗（Emily）正在給大家做絨毛吹風。

Fluff and puff.

蓬鬆和起泡

And doing the fluff and pop.

並進行蓬鬆和彈跳。

Super important for these guys, our sea otters have a perfect hair coat and we have our own team of professional hair coat developers here and Emily is one of the leaders of that.

我們有自己的專業毛髮開發團隊，艾米麗是其中的領軍人物之一。

So Tofino just came out of the pool as I said.

就像我說的，託菲諾剛從水池裡出來。

That hair coat needs to be perfect as I said.

正如我所說的那樣，毛皮必須完美無瑕。

So dry, groomed, combed.

如此乾爽，梳理整齊。

You can see she's starting to help us, which is awesome, right?

你可以看到她開始幫助我們了，這很棒，對嗎？

So she's starting to work that hair coat on her own.

所以她開始自己梳理毛髮了。

She's starting to blow air into the hair coat, puff it up.

她開始對著毛髮吹氣，讓它膨脹起來。

That's what this fan is for.

這就是這個風扇的作用。

Normally these guys have essentially a dry coat or a dry suit on all the time, right?

通常情況下，這些人基本上一直穿著防寒衣或防寒服，對嗎？

So the hair is so close together that water actually doesn't touch their skin.

是以，毛髮之間的距離很近，水實際上接觸不到它們的皮膚。

That's how they insulate.

這就是它們的隔熱方法。

No blubber like seals.

沒有像海豹那樣的脂肪。

That hair coat is everything to them.

毛髮是它們的一切。

So it needs to be perfect.

是以，它必須是完美的。

So yeah, do we have any questions from out there?

大家有什麼問題嗎？

Yeah, looks like, how old do we think Tofino is?

是啊，看起來，我們認為託菲諾有多大了？

Well, we think she's about six weeks of age.

我們認為她大約六週大。

Normally these guys would spend almost six months with their mom.

通常情況下，這些孩子會和他們的媽媽在一起將近六個月。

Again, super intensive.

同樣，超級密集。

She's eating a lot, probably 25 to 35% of her body weight in formula every day.

她吃得很多，每天的奶粉量可能佔體重的 25% 到 35%。

She's gaining a lot of weight.

她的體重增加了很多。

Yeah, six weeks right now.

是啊，六個星期現在。

It's going to be a process.

這將是一個過程。

Marty, can you tell us how sea otter pups keep their coats dry in the wild?

馬蒂，你能告訴我們海獺幼崽在野外是如何保持皮毛乾燥的嗎？

Yeah, so mom is such a great mom.

是啊，媽媽真是個好媽媽。

So in the wild, sea otter pups rely 100% on mom to keep their coat perfect.

是以，在野外，海獺幼崽完全依靠媽媽來保持完美的皮毛。

So they don't have quite the dexterity and the flexibility.

是以，他們沒有那麼靈巧和靈活。

They have this really, really puffy kind of sea otter pup coat as well.

它們也有這種非常非常蓬鬆的海獺幼崽皮毛。

So it's really mom.

所以真的是媽媽。

Mom's doing a lot of that grooming for them.

媽媽為他們做了很多梳理工作。

Blowing air under that hair coat, fluffing it up, and keeping it perfect.

在毛髮下吹氣，使其蓬鬆，保持完美。

At what age will she get a more adult coat?

她幾歲會換上更成熟的皮毛？

I think most often we see them start getting that hair coat at about two months of age.

我想我們最常見的情況是，它們在兩個月大的時候開始長毛。

By three, it's pretty much an adult dark coat that you might be more familiar with.

到三歲的時候，它幾乎就是你可能更熟悉的成人深色外套了。

Perfect.

太完美了

Someone would like to know if they would get an infection of any type if water does get to their skin.

有人想知道，如果水進入皮膚，他們是否會受到任何類型的感染。

Excuse me.

打擾一下

Not so much of an infection if it's just water.

如果只是水的話，感染的可能性不大。

But what happens is they'll lose insulation very quickly.

但結果是，他們很快就會失去隔熱性能。

It's been estimated even if they lose 5% of their hair coat, they will not be able to thermoregulate in cold ocean water.

據估計，即使它們失去 5%的毛髮，也無法在寒冷的海水中調節體溫。

Someone would like to know is she as soft as she looks or do otters have more of a horse fur?

有人想知道，水獺的皮毛是像它看起來那麼柔軟，還是更像馬毛？

She actually feels like a sandpaper spiky.

實際上，她給人的感覺就像砂紙上的尖刺。

Her hands are bleeding.

她的手在流血。

Very weird.

非常奇怪。

No, she is probably softer than you actually think.

不，她可能比你想象的還要溫柔。

These guys have just about the densest hair coat out of any species.

這些傢伙的毛髮是所有物種中最濃密的。

And it is fluffy and soft and awesome.

它又松又軟，棒極了。

I hope she likes that.

希望她喜歡。

That's the spot.

就是這裡。

What is she currently eating and how often?

她現在吃什麼，多久吃一次？

She is eating for the most part a specialized sea otter formula that is based on a commercial carnivore replacer, so something that might be fed to other types of carnivores that might be orphans like wolves or raccoons, that kind of thing.

它吃的大部分是海獺專用配方奶粉，這種配方奶粉是以商業肉食動物替代品為基礎的，所以可能會餵給其他類型的肉食動物，比如狼或浣熊之類的孤兒。

But we do modify that quite a bit, essentially adding a lot more oil to it and some essential nutrients as well, vitamins, minerals.

但我們對其進行了很大的改良，主要是在其中添加了更多的油和一些必需的營養成分，如維生素和礦物質。

And that's pretty much what it is.

差不多就是這樣。

However, she is starting to wean on us to a certain extent, so she is eating some clam as well just as a supplement and she loves it.

不過，在一定程度上，她開始對我們斷奶了，所以她也吃一些蛤蜊作為補充，她很喜歡吃。

Her teeth are coming out.

她的牙齒快掉光了。

There's a couple questions in regards to her swimming and her diving.

有幾個關於她游泳和跳水的問題。

Is she doing a better job at that?

她在這方面做得更好嗎？

I know last time she was still kind of leaning to one side and getting a little bit waterlogged, so how's that going?

我知道上次她還是有點偏向一邊，有點積水，現在怎麼樣了？

That is progressing.

正在取得進展。

So she's a puppy and she's not able to really do everything as yet, but she's trying hard and certainly she's starting to get that sea otter flip, I call it, where they kind of dive and then put their hind flippers up and really push down.

她還是一隻小狗，還不能真正做到所有的事情，但她正在努力嘗試，當然，她也開始學會了海獺的翻轉動作，我稱之為 "海獺翻轉"。

She's starting to get it, not awesome yet.

她開始明白了，但還不夠棒。

Next question is here, how much does she sleep right now?

下一個問題是，她現在睡多少覺？

Oh boy, a lot. 11 hours a day?

哦，天哪，很多。一天 11 個小時？

Yeah, at least 11 hours a day.

是的，每天至少 11 個小時。

So she's on about a three, three and a half hour cycle right now and out of that, so getting fed about every three, three and a half hours, and I would say out of that she's sleeping almost half the time, at least a third of the time.

她現在的睡眠週期大約是三到三個半小時，每三到三個半小時喂一次奶。

I think we've got quite a few Joey fans on here, so a lot of people are wondering what her chances of release are or would she potentially go to the aquarium or an aquarium?

我想我們這裡有很多喬伊的粉絲，所以很多人都想知道她被釋放的機會有多大，或者她有可能被送到水族館或水族館嗎？

Well, right now she's Canada's Animal, so she's under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans and we work under license from them.

現在，它是加拿大的動物，所以歸加拿大漁業和海洋部管轄，我們是在他們的許可下工作的。

We're in charge of her medical and husbandry care, but any determination on releasability is made by them.

我們負責她的醫療和飼養，但能否放歸由他們決定。

And historically, unfortunately, because of all this intensive kind of care that the otter needs, because of all the things that she'd normally learn from her mom, like where to forage, how to forage, how to use tools, what kind of food to eat and how to escape predators, we can't teach that.

遺憾的是，在歷史上，由於水獺需要密集的照顧，它通常會從媽媽那裡學到很多東西，比如在哪裡覓食、如何覓食、如何使用工具、吃什麼樣的食物以及如何躲避捕食者，但我們卻無法教它這些。

So historically, dependent pups of this age have not been considered super great release candidates.

是以，從歷史上看，這個年齡段的依賴性幼犬並不被認為是超級優秀的放歸候選者。

However, there are some super great homes for these guys, and obviously the Vancouver Aquarium is one of those.

不過，這些傢伙也有一些超級棒的家，溫哥華水族館顯然就是其中之一。

We currently have eight sea otters in our facility.

目前，我們的設施中有八隻海獺。

All of them have started out life as an orphan pup somewhere in the Pacific.

它們最初都是太平洋某處的孤兒。

A few questions about the same thing.

關於同一件事的幾個問題。

What does she smell like?

她身上有什麼味道？

She doesn't have an orange.

她沒有橙子

No.

不

Her body doesn't.

她的身體不會。

No.

不

And actually, she doesn't smell hardly of anything.

事實上，她身上幾乎聞不到任何味道。

And the reason for that, or a large reason for that, is these guys are a mustelid, so that means that they're related to things like weasels and mink and river otters and skunks even.

究其原因，或者說一個重要原因是，這些傢伙屬於鼬科動物，所以這意味著它們與黃鼠狼、水貂、河獺甚至臭鼬等動物都有親緣關係。

So species that we actually associate with real heavy smells, because they have these must plants, but sea otters are the only members of that group of animals that doesn't have a scent plant.

是以，我們實際上會把這些物種與真正的重氣味聯繫起來，因為它們有這些必須的植物，但海獺是這組動物中唯一沒有氣味植物的成員。

It makes no sense to have that, so you don't want to get any kind of oil on their fur, but really rely on that.

這樣做沒有任何意義，所以你不要在它們的皮毛上塗抹任何油脂，而要真正依靠它。

There's the perfect oil we can with that.

我們可以用這種完美的油。

And there's no need to mark in the ocean, because it'll just go away.

沒必要在海里做記號，因為它會消失的。

Thank you.

謝謝。

Does she have a favorite toy right now?

她現在有喜歡的玩具嗎？

I think mostly my fingers seem to be a favorite to chew on.

我想我最喜歡啃手指了。

But, you know, she loves her ice.

但是，你知道，她喜歡她的冰。

Ice treats, and these guys have been freezing toys inside ice blocks, and I think right now that seems to be the thing I really go for.

這些傢伙把玩具放在冰塊裡冷凍，我想現在我最喜歡的就是這種東西了。

Can you tell us a little bit about her teeth and how many that she has right now?

你能告訴我們一些她的牙齒情況嗎？

Well, how many?

有多少？

That's a good question.

這個問題問得好。

She probably has one, two, three, four, five.

她可能有一個、兩個、三個、四個、五個。

Let's find out.

讓我們一探究竟。

All of her teeth are coming in.

她的牙齒都長出來了。

They're all in there.

他們都在裡面。

They're still a bit small, but they're certainly coming out.

它們還有點小，但肯定已經出來了。

Yeah.

是啊

I think so.

我想是的。

I think she hates everyone equally.

我覺得她對每個人的恨都是一樣的。

No, she's pretty awesome.

不，她非常棒。

And as long as you're providing everything that she demands, you're her favorite at that moment.

只要你能滿足她的一切要求，那一刻你就是她的最愛。

She's very fickle.

她很善變。

Sorry, guys.

對不起，夥計們。

We were just turning the fan off so you can hear us all a little bit better.

我們只是把風扇關了，好讓你們聽得清楚一點。

Hopefully that works.

希望這能奏效。

Let us know if it doesn't.

如果沒有，請告訴我們。

How long does it take to fully dry her?

需要多長時間才能完全晾乾？

Well, it depends on how good you are.

那要看你有多厲害了。

For Emily, it takes about three hours.

對艾米莉來說，這需要大約三個小時。

I just like to draw it out.

我只是喜歡把它畫出來。

It's about 20 minutes to fully dry her, maybe?

大概要 20 分鐘才能完全烘乾她，可能嗎？

Yeah, I mean, sometimes they work upwards of an hour, though, if she falls asleep on the table.

是的，我的意思是，有時他們會工作一個多小時，不過，如果她在桌子上睡著了的話。

They'll just keep working on the trouble spots.

他們會繼續解決這些問題。

So here, down at the base of her tail, kind of in between her flips, her armpits.

所以在這裡，在她的尾巴根部，在她的翻轉之間，她的腋窩。

But everything else dries really quickly.

但其他東西都乾得很快。

How deep are her pockets?

她的口袋有多深？

Does she have pockets yet?

她有口袋嗎？

She does.

她會的

They're not super well-developed yet, but you want to show them where her pockets are?

它們還沒發育成熟，但你想讓它們看看她的口袋在哪裡嗎？

She says, no, they're private.

她說，不，它們是私人的。

And they're private and they're ticklish.

它們很隱祕，也很怕癢。

But they're starting to form, so you can kind of see.

但它們已經開始形成，所以你可以看到。

Another question.

還有一個問題。

Joey, he meeped and made a lot of sounds when he was here.

喬伊，他在這裡的時候 "喵喵 "地叫，還發出很多聲音。

How is her meeping in comparison?

相比之下，她的哭泣又算得了什麼呢？

Probably not as vocal as Joey overall.

總的來說，他的聲音可能不如喬伊響亮。

She's definitely a bit quieter, but she does have some really adorable noises that she makes.

她肯定比較安靜，但她會發出一些非常可愛的聲音。

Maybe now with the fan off, we can pick up on them a little bit more.

也許現在關了風扇，我們能更多地瞭解他們。

Little grunts and squeaks.

輕微的咕嚕聲和吱吱聲

Definitely lets us know what she wants.

肯定會讓我們知道她想要什麼。

Is she biting?

她在咬人嗎？

Does she try to chew on stuff?

她會咬東西嗎？

Yeah.

是啊

I think, again, mostly me, for some reason.

我想，出於某種原因，主要還是我自己的原因。

But, yeah, she's just like any other mammal that's getting teeth.

不過，是的，她就像其他長牙的哺乳動物一樣。

She wants to chew on things.

她想咬東西。

It's how she explores her world and how she develops that ability to crunch through things.

這是她探索自己世界的方式，也是她如何發展出碾碎事物的能力的方式。

So, yeah, no, she's biting on a lot of stuff.

所以，是的，不，她咬了很多東西。

How many members of staff, and I'll add volunteers, are taking care of her right now?

現在有多少工作人員在照顧她，我還要加上志願者？

And how many hours in rotation?

輪換多少小時？

Oh, boy.

哦，天哪

So, it's about a three, three and a half hour cycle.

是以，這大約是一個三到三個半小時的週期。

Our staff are here eight hour shifts, usually.

我們的員工通常是八小時輪班制。

And we do have a dedicated staff person just for the sea otter.

我們確實有專人負責海獺。

And they are assisted by at least two volunteers.

他們還得到至少兩名志願者的協助。

So, there are three people around the clock with this otter.

是以，有三個人晝夜不停地照顧這隻水獺。

We have a couple repeat questions.

我們有幾個重複的問題。

I think some people are just joining.

我認為有些人只是想加入。

Can you let us know again how old we think she is?

你能再告訴我們一次她的年齡嗎？

Yeah, we think she's probably about six weeks old.

是的，我們覺得她大概六週大。

Just over six weeks.

只有六個多星期。

She's been with us since the 18th of June.

她從 6 月 18 日起就和我們在一起了。

Well, 19th of June, technically.

嚴格來說，是 6 月 19 日。

And another one.

還有一個

Oh, this is a good one.

哦，這個不錯。

Will the baby teeth fall out?

乳牙會掉嗎？

No.

不

These are her permanent teeth coming in.

這是她長出的恆牙。

Amazing.

太神奇了

Another repeat one.

又是一個重複。

How old are they when they start developing their adult fur?

它們多大開始長成年皮毛？

So, it starts around two months of age where that really fluffy pup coat starts to turn into that darker sea otter coat that most people are a little bit more familiar with.

是以，從兩個月大左右開始，毛茸茸的幼崽皮毛開始變成深色的海獺皮毛，這也是大多數人比較熟悉的。

Probably by three months, they're fully dark and have that adult coat.

大概到三個月大時，它們就會完全變黑，長出成年的皮毛。

No, we can't have that.

不，我們不能這樣做。

Sorry.

對不起。

And she's floating a little bit better than she was the last time we watched her.

她的漂浮能力比我們上次看她時好了一些。

Is that correct?

是這樣嗎？

She's a pretty good floater.

她是個很好的漂浮者。

I'm not sure what.

我不知道是什麼。

Maybe someone caught her just in an awkward water-logged moment.

也許有人正好抓住了她進水的尷尬時刻。

But she floats pretty great.

但她漂浮得很好。

Yeah, she's a bit of a cork.

是啊，她有點軟木塞。

That's perfect.

太完美了

Is she grooming herself?

她在梳妝打扮嗎？

She certainly is.

她當然是。

And you can actually see it right now.

你現在就能看到。

So, she's working it.

所以，她正在努力。

And she definitely goes for the problem areas.

她肯定會針對問題所在下手。

Looks like she wants to bite Emily.

看起來她想咬艾米麗一口

Everybody does.

每個人都這樣做。

So, I get it.

所以，我明白了。

But, yeah, she's starting to do a little bit on her own.

不過，是的，她開始自己做一些事情了。

She's not awesome at it.

她在這方面並不出色。

Does she like towels like Joey did?

她喜歡喬伊那樣的毛巾嗎？

We know he loved his towels.

我們知道他愛他的毛巾。

That's a good question, Emily.

這個問題問得好，艾米麗。

I don't know.

我不知道。

Every once in a while, she notices your grooming towel.

每隔一段時間，她就會注意到你的梳毛毛巾。

Not like Joey.
