The day old sea otter pup. The previous day, during a rain storm, the mother took shelter in the tide pool at the steps of Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey, California. Music made by me: Spotify: spoti.fi/3nL6cMi Apple: apple.co/3nWqGC6
That’s why the babies have special fur called “pup coats.” It’s impossible for them to sink or to try diving after mom while she’s trying to food for them. Otters also wrap their pups in kelp and hold hands to prevent themselves from drifting away. But it wasn’t until recently that I found out that otters have pockets of excess skin in the armpit area which they use to carry rocks to bang shellfish against or to carry food for later. I become more amazed by otters every day, and just look at how cute otter pups are!
baby otters can only float not swim and the mothers need to constantly "fluff" them up because their coat will get soaked and heavy and then they'd drown.
THOSE CRIES FROM THE BABY, OMG OMG OMG, 😄😭😂 SHE'S LIKE, MAMA, HELP ME, I WANT TO BE HELD ON YOUR TUMMY. AND THEN THE MOTHER PICKS HER PUP UP, AND SHE'S LIKE, IT'S OKAY, MAMA'S GOT YOU , SWEETHEART, MAMA'S HERE.
To see this animal in real life with her baby is such a blessing they r the only caretaker and provider and protector of that harmless little pup they r amazing moms and adorable ❤the most adorable pups ❤
Oooh, although he’s super cute, he wasn’t paying attention when his mama was teaching him spinning and rolling. He’ll be sorry someday. Poor little feller!🤪👍🏼☮️
