My daughter's name is Autumn, and when I was holding her for the first time, I called her "My little Otter." My wife, exhausted from childbirth and totally against nicknames, immediately fell in love with it. 18 months later, everyone calls her Otter. She only hears "Autumn" when she's being cheeky. Haha.
I found myself in Monterey Bay when I was on vacation and was like huh, an aquarium let's check it out. Then it blew my fucking mind. I was like man, 60 bucks to get in, it looks like any normal tiny 1850s industrial building that has been redesigned for tourist reasons. It looks like nothing from the outside but was easily the best aquarium that I've ever been to.
Sea otters have the thickest fur of any animal. Their fur contains between 600,000 to 1,000,000 hair follicles per square inch. Unlike most other marine mammals, otters lack a blubber layer. Instead, they depend on their dense, water-resistant fur to provide insulation
Human parents do this too sometimes. Evolutionary desire to care for the precious little offsprings runs deep, I guess, Which is why a clamp sleeping child has to be snuggle checked for breathing everyone once in a while!
Thatās how they are born. Unlike other aquatic mammals, otters are not born with blubber to keep them warm in the cold ocean, they are born with the most amount of hair (per square inch) of any mammal
Last night I watched a mini/episode documentary about Monterey Bay on a show called Our Great National Parks, which is on Netflix Canada. It is narrated by Obama. Has a good 15-20 minute segment about the sea otters there, specifically following the mom and baby. Was very well done show, obama has a great voice for narrating a nature show. Was surprised how smart and handy these fellas are. The mom got smart when looking for a safe place to stash the baby while she went and hunted, it floated just like they are in this video and went under a dock. It found a nice little dry hide a way hole under the dock and went off hunting. This thing found like 20 mussels/clams and let them all sit on its belly while it floated on its back eating them one by one. Think i'm gonna watch another episode tonight
Adorable but this is not 1 day old by any means lol...newborn otters can fit in your palm...not to mention otters aren't giving birth to a baby 2/3s of their size
I don't know anything, but fifteen seconds with Google suggests that sea otter newborns look different from river otter newborns. Is it possible that you are thinking of river otters?
That is the baby at either one or two days old. Mom gave birth at the outdoor tidepool at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and they started filming it for social media immediately. Mom only stayed in the tidepool for a few days. The voice in the video is one of the PR people at the aquarium. Baby sea otters are mostly fur.
False - Baby sea otters can and will always float (as long as mommy keeps it clean and fluffy). They can't dive until their fur changes when they're about 3 months old.
When sea otters are born they dont know how to swim! The soft thick bb fur is a life jacket, and until it sheds they cant even dive below the water, mom has to hunt and bring it back for the lassie
Go to Morro Bay on the central coast of California and you can witness this in the wild. Iām not exaggerating when I say itās life-changing to witness
This is just too adorable
You mean otterly adorable

Don't be fooled, they're plotting something.....

Me, every day to my child. We call it forced affection š
Ima save this one for when I have kids one day ā¦ this quote is tearing me up ā¦ tis beautiful
Thisā¦. Is the sweetest thing I have ever seen
Check out
Same
This is the same sea otter at 2 or 3 days old. In this clip you can see the whole size of the mother by comparison.
Dude some HUMAN babies weigh that much.
The otter moved itself into the aquarium?!
This is awesome!! Just watched the āOur Great National Parksā episode where they followed a Mom and her hours-old baby sea Otter in Monterey Bay.
This is otterly beautiful.
Still can't believe that otter just weighs 5 pounds š

Omg MBA is where rosa the sea otter lives!!!
I had no idea they came out that fluffy!

Also, notentioned in the other commenters fun fact.
And big compared to the mother, it's like 1/4 of her size.
Human Babies can come out really fluffy too or hardly fluffy lol.
*insert softerner commercial
This otter is getting more affection and attention than i did as a kid oof
My girlfriend loves otters and i love sending these videos to her, this is too cute
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm going to send this to your girlfriend too

Otters also hold hands while sleeping, so they donāt drift apart.
Stop with the adorable qualities otters!
All otter moms: My baby is the cutest.
Well, they otter know
Awwwww! š
So precious š„ŗš I hope they will will have a long and happy life āŗļø
Smooch. Smooch. Smooch. āMom! Jeez, Iām trying to sleep!ā

How do I find someone to hold me like momma otter holds her baby sea otter. forever alone . . .
Cruise other posts about sea otters to see somebody else commenting the same thing.
I'll hold you like a hairy new otter baby kind stranger!
Be someone worthy of being held like that. Take pride in providing value. Take pride in your health. Take pride in your appearance.

Not trying...succeeding!
Otters deserve to inherit the Earth
Seal babies would disagree
They almost did in South Park as the AAA.
Baby: Mom. Can you stop moving me around? Trying to sleep here.

Sure looks bigger than one day old
That is so cute š although I highly doubt it's one day old.
Looks huge to be 1 day old.
That smaller one came out of the other ones vagina less than 24 hours ago?
How the heck is that thing only a day old???
Where can i adopt myself an otter mom?
I'm just dead from the hug power.
Stop talking camera guy
I want an otter baby š„ŗ

They are 1 day old, it's just mostly fluff is why they look so big.

They have the thickest fur on the planet
Nature is amazing and we shouldn't take it for granted
Watch the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary episode of Our Great National Parks.
Ooh I didnāt know there was an episode about it!! Thanks for the tip, love the Monterey Bay Aquarium/MBARI so much.
The dopamine hit I just got from watching this was very much needed.
The most adorable thing i have ever seen
Please tell me they named the otter Emmett.
Moms like, "Ah com'ere ya lil furry butt nugget!" ((SMOOCH-SMOOCH-SMOOCH)) KIDS LIKE, "C'mon ma I'm tryna sleep over he'"
No way thatās a day old
Aww I love how sheās fussing over her little nugget.
Going to Morro Bay and seeing wild otters just swimming around doing their thing was one of the greatest things
All babies should have a mom this dedicated ā¦ so heartwarming!!Thank you for sharing!
SCREAMING š„¹š„¹š„¹ššš
I wanna know how that baby feels, sleeping on fuzzy warmth while drifting in water... must be nice
1 day?!
Not to be that guy because this is fuckin adorable but this is 100% not a 1 day old otter
This is otterly adorable!
Iām no expert but that youngster looks too big to be a day old.
So fucking cute! I just canāt!
1 DAY?! It's nearly as big as it's mum!?
1 day old? But he's furry for a 1 day old
Just like my kids. "Dad I want to snuggle." Immediately proceeds to wiggle constantly with me saying, "Well sit still then!"
This gave me instantaneous baby fever
The reason they do this is because baby otters can't float and will drown otherwise
False - Baby sea otters can and will always float (as long as mommy keeps it clean and fluffy). They can't dive until their fur changes when they're about 3 months old.
That otter baby has to be older than one day. Just imagine what it would be like for mother otter to give a birth to a baby that big.
Nope. 1 day
Looks way too big to be a newborn
Aww so cute
That otter isn't one day old. Its few weeks.
Itās either one or two days old in this video. I was there the day it was born.
Happy cake day!
I'm too skinny to float, but if I take a deep breath and puff out my belly, then I can float. Just thought this was relevant
Just wait til it wants a phone and a car. š¤
Ngl otters look way too innocent for some of the stuff they get up to
I'll accept 3 month old, reject 1 day old for 5,000,000,000,000,000 Alex,
evil creatures
Very true
Aww so cute
Oh to be a baby sea otter lying on my mothers stomach just floating on a river
Cute little monsters:
Sea otter is probably trying to get away from all those sociopathic necrophiliac male otters.
I know this is cute but a sad fact is that a sea otter mom will kill and throw their babies at predators to aurvive
To think this is the thing that rapes penguins
