JACKSON, NJ (WKOW)-- Six adorable baby otters found a brand new home at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.

The otters are almost nine weeks old, and like typical newborns, demand a lot of attention.  The six brothers and sisters first learned to swim in a little puddle of water, and now they can swim in an exhibit-sized pool.  They've been bottle-fed since they first arrived at the park, when they were six-weeks old.

Jackson, Baxter, Cali, Roxi, Pearl, and Sushi are drinking a mix of yogurt and puppy formula, and now weigh about one pound.  Trainers are also starting to introduce them to small pieces of fish. The otters are very playful, and love chasing each other around.
