Adorable Otter Orphans Learn to Swim 

I would adopt him.

Me first

After seeing Bingo the otter, I'd love to adopt him, but I already have 3 dogs.

I was like wtf

gabriella nicole I kinda wanted to see him die

RonRay aw come on Martin Kratt does it too.

So god created the Great White shark, the worm that burrows into human kids eyes, parasites and snakes. Or was it Lucifer?

What you just said right there kind of reminds me of this one zoo we have in my country. The zoo had a director for some 36years,and he had a reputation for doing whatever it took to save whatever animal he knew could survive. His list of rescued animals are extensive. It includes everything from lambs, foxes, frogs, a river otter, squirrels, and more. And that list is just the animals he rescued prior to finding a job at the zoo. His father was a farmer and worked with the wild life conservatory, so naturally he ended up caring for all kinds of animals... His job as a zoo keeper, and later the director of the zoo, only expanded his caretaking duties even further. And he was no stranger of trying unorthodox methods to keep the animals alive. A litter of otters who was abandoned by their mother ended up being raised by a cat who had lost her kittens to stillbirth, and a kangaroo was carefully raised by him himself. Even today, a decade after he formally retired, he still keeps on raising and helping whatever animals comes his way. But it has come at a price. According to sources, only hamsters are the animals who have not caused him any harm. He was frequently bitten as a child and teenager, was hospitalized at the age of 17 after he was trampled by a Moose, bitten straight through his right hand by a hippo, was frequently bitten, bruised, and beaten by all kinds of animals, several of which required hospitalization, and he was permanently disfigured on his left hand after a chimpanzee bit off his pointy finger and severely scarred him.

They're stupid. People have otters as pets, it's basically cuter version of cat/dog that likes to swim more. WTF with this nonsense. Better to kill him than let him live as a pet in a loving home, but with less space to swim ... logic. I'm pretty sure that otter would prefer swimming just in bathtub, than be murdered ...

@@asdzxcz1360 Euthanasia isn't murder. Stop that hyperbole. Sometimes it's the most human option.

@Deus Ex Machina For humanely putting down wild animals who they can't find humane living conditions for?

I can't believe it either anything is better than kill him I'll take him and will make sure his life is the happiest one no need to kill him my god I'm in complete chock too

Faiz Izz No harm in trying.

Rosie Low I probably would if they're served separately, unlike cereals. That would have been horrendous!

For whatever reason it's the direction that lots of animal ethics groups lean towards, my understanding is that generally any suffering is thought of as more cruel than death. A close friend of mine works as a Researcher of Gidgee Skinks which are one of the few very sociable lizards and as part of his task animal ethics requires him to note if any lizard is injured (say a limp or something) or separated from the group, then submit a formal essay discussing the Skink's odds of survival at which point it is either required to be taken to a vet (Which doesn't happen as this legitimately would take 2 days of driving and blow the research budget) or immediately kill it, rather than having it struggle or get picked of by a Hawk.

Freshie207 Makes more sense to return to the food chain than being rendered and turned into makeup. Just seems crazy to me, even as a vegetarian and I feel I'm much more compassionate than most.

BECAUSE IT'S CRUEL TO ALLOW A DISADVANTAGED ANIMAL LIVE A LIFE THAT IS INFERIOR TO IT'S PEERS WHEN NATURE WOULD HAVE KILLED THE POOR PUP OFF NATURALLY BEFORE GETTING TO THAT POINT. Sorry for caps

TFrills no need at all to euthanize that otter because even living with the odds against it is worth it, just to be alive is amazing who knows if there is anything after death and who are we to decide he deserves zero chance. Besides otters seem to be pretty much playful and happy even as pets I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Surely there is a sactury that will take him in.

Natanate Mahavanich Watch a video of a mother otter dragging a pup underwater and you will realize this is way too gentle. They don’t like the water at first but are forced to swim. The absolutely have to be able to swim to survive it is not optional. Imagine a bird that can’t fly? Wouldn’t do to well.

@@kurtvonfricken6829 I highly disagree with your comment. Look how he just put them back and watch them swim without actually trying to help them swim in the process. I just watched this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yc-13P6Yb_o.html It seems clear to me that this is proper teaching done by a mother. She drags her cubs back into the water with her. You don't teach a baby how to walk by pushing him/her expecting her to walk do you? Edit: Also, gentleness means almost nothing to wild animals in most cases. Even house cats like it rough.

Angry Koala 👍😂😂😂

*break *I Please learn to spell

It wouldn't have to be done tho. Plenty of people would take the otter. Whatever problems that may incur would be worth the aversion of euthanasia

E V depends on how serious the injury is. Sometimes it’s better to euthanize than have them live in constant pain or having an extreme life altering handicap.

Emily Hardy that's why they are in school. You can't expect evreyone to be perfect at spelling especially younger people or someone new to that language.Why does it bother you that much ? you can understand it. Also in this case break does not sound like it is said and brake is, just a thing you have to learn with experience.

Uni Bun Why not? In the wild the mother would have just let it die.

Because they taste great.
