Fast fact: Sea Otters are the fluffiest mammals in the animal kingdom. Since they have no blubber like whales and sea lions, they rely entirely on a dense coat of fur to protect them from the icy cold water of their native ocean habitat. =)

This littel guy is so cute, he is a bit afraid of the camera so he gets closer and closer to the carer but does not want the grooming to end either. His face is adorable. Can't belive humans hunt these innocent souls as a sport. I remember watching 'Osaka the Otter' movie, it was so sad.
