These new critters are really making a splash.
The Long Island Aquarium is offering the public a chance to name an adorable batch of siblings, two pairs of boy and girl North American river otters, for a very touching reason.
“We picked 4 fruit-themed names for the two girls, in honor of their grandmother, Jelly, who lived at the Aquarium starting in 2008,” spokesperson Darlene Puntillo told The Post of the mammal that passed away from cancer years ago.
The choices are between Cherry, Fig, Kiwi, and Peach for girls, and for boys, there are Cashew, Pecan, Pistachio, and Walnut.
The four male nut-themed names are “to honor these otters’ grandfather, Peanut Butter.”
They were born last February to the beloved female otter Flo and her mate named Stark.
The aquarium described the couple as a bundle of fun that is “highly active.”
Now coming into their own, the polls are open on the marine life center’s website where fans can pick from four different food-themed names for the pups.
