Otters 🦦 are just so cute.

I would crap my swim trunks if an otter jumped onto my board.

That means it is trying to get away from something in the deep with teeth.

Otters are little gangsters. I saw them climb on to a boat and raid the cooler. Others would walk into the restaurant and steal food.

Otters are cousins of Honey Badgers.

That’s nothing. Look what jumped on my surf board a couple of years ago.

On my first day as a zookeeper, I was assigned to clean the small animal exhibits. When I got to the exhibit for the European Giant River Otters, the critters were very curious about the new guy in their area. I said, “You guys are really cute.” And I sat down. They were all over me, with one climbing up my shirt. I fed them Monkey Chow bars.

Later, my supervisor said “I forgot to tell you to watch out for the otters. They’re really dangerous.”

I played with the otters every day after that.

“He was going from board to board and seemed calm and friendly even as he was a few feet from surfers,”

Did the surfers ever wonder why the otter wanted out of the water?

During storms, sea lions would come up on the beach and into our yards exhausted.

And you live in Iowa. No wonder they are exhausted.

Last time I was in Santa Cruz, there were used condoms on the floor of this restaurant bathroom and the homos were everywhere.
