VIDEO: Because when else do you see a baby otter explore its new home?

It's been a water Shedd moment.

Chicago's Shedd Aquarium was already a popular destination, but the fuzzy fame of its newest resident has earned it a frenzied following it never enjoyed before.

The orphaned female southern sea otter pup was first taken to Monterey Bay Aquarium, for rehabilitation before her transfer east. (More on the rescue below.)

A vote to name the pup just ran its course with a tidal wave of 10,000 votes.

The winning name, Luna, was just announced on Good Morning America.

Now this look at Luna acclimating to her new habitat offer the latest evidence of why, as Jezebel reported, "Chicago is Losing its S*** Over This Rescued Baby Sea Otter." 

Weekly Staff Writer Walter Ryce reported this last month about the rescue:

The first week in the life of the southern sea otter known as Pup 681 started out bad.

Very bad.

The newborn was found by a pedestrian, alone and crying out on a beach near between San Mateo and Santa Cruz County on Sept. 30, her mother nowhere to be found.

That pedestrian called the Marine Mammal Center at Moss Landing, and they called the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Sea Otter Program, which rescued the pup.

Over the course of four weeks, a Aquarium veterinary staff examined and stabilized the animal, then the Sea Otter Rescue team stepped in to feed and groom her until the Aquarium found her a permanent home, at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium.

Pup 681 is in good hands in the Windy City, eating shrimp and clams (and doing cameos on Good Morning America) and growing up in the company of five other fellow otters, nearly all of them rescues.
