The photos of this pup couldn’t be any more cute Pam. I’ve only seen sea otters in the wild once, and I have to say that even the adults are pretty darned cute. Terri and I wish you all the best for a happy and healthy 2016. ~James
If you ever want to see sea otters in the wild, I can tell you exactly where to go. Best wishes for a happy new year!
I saw this on television and simply adored the sweet animal loving it’s baby. Otters seem to express affection openly. How wonderful! 🙂
Oh they are the cutest animals ever! Like floating teddy bears. 🙂
