Otter Videos

I'm not 100% sure what this otter is up to but the original uploader of the video claims that this is otter is marking his territory.  

So cute! I'm now looking for the original video. 

Tired. :) 

I hope that all of you are spending your weekend holding hands with someone special too!

I have wanted to visit Vancouver for so many years and I still haven't had the time to go. After seeing these playful otters at Stanley Park I want to go even more.

I can't believe that I've been so busy that I haven't visited Ollie the otter at the Aquarium of the Pacific yet. Have you?

Here's some nice footage of a sea otter chomping down on an octopus. Otters can eat 25 to 30 percent of their body so this big octopus should hold him over for a while.

Four years ago the YouTube video, "Otters Holding Hands" became an internet sensation and started many people's love for sea otters. Even though Nyac, one of the otters in the original video has passed on, the other sea otters at the Vancouver Aquarium have been keeping the hand holding tradition alive. Thanks to Sally and Cute Overload for this one!

The one kind of otter that I've never seen at a zoo or aquarium is the giant otter. Giant otters can be as long as 5.9 feet but there's evidence that they once were as long as 7.9 feet. That's a lot of otter!
