Charlie, the oldest southern sea otter held by any zoo or aquarium, died Monday, April 22, 2019 at the age of 22, at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, Calif.

He also took part in research efforts, such as providing blood and taking part in a study on how sea otters perceive sound. (Robin Riggs/Aquarium of the Pacific via AP)
