Sea Otters: Cradle to the Wave
"Discovery.com takes us on an insider’s tour of the otter nursery at the Sea Otter Research and Conservation Program in Monterey. Meet Thelma and Eddie, two seven-month old otter pups, and follow Thelma’s release into the wild. Eddie, however, will never be returned to the wild. "During the first two months of his life, he bonded too closely to the people who were raising him. By the time he moved to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, he had forgotten he was an otter.""

Scholastic: Dolphins
"This fabulous site from Scholastic is my pick of the day because it has something for everyone, whether you are a teacher or a student in grades one through eight. Begin with All About Dolphins, where your host, research biologist Dan Odell, introduces the topic by answering some basic dolphin questions. Next try your hand at the Cetacean Relations Game. Cetaceans are the order of marine mammals that includes all whales, dolphins and porpoises. With all this under your belt, now you are ready to join the virtual field trip (Dolphin Watch) to study bottlenose dolphins in the Indian River Lagoon in Florida."

San Diego Zoo & Wild Animal Park
"Join D.L. Armstrong on a research trek into the Wild Animal Park’s newest exhibit, Heart of Africa. Each day of the two-week journey includes "a glimpse of what I discovered that day — perhaps a page from my journal, an animal photograph, or a video clip." Other interesting reports (such as the first condor birth of 1998) can be found in the What’s New section. While you’re cyber-vacationing at the zoo, don’t forget your friends and family back home. Send them a digital conservation postcard! "
