Baby southern sea otter - scared by passing airplane

It's now the last week of August. Between the boats and boaters, dock workers, and maintenance crew, life around the marina is a bit noisy. Passing airplanes seem to be her least favorite sounds. But, this otter mother seems to like it here. Floating on her back, she grooms herself and her little boy before climbing up onto the dock for a napping and nursing.

The marina is right under the flight path of the airport. The barking in the background are california sea lions.

Did you see how she held on tight to her baby when the plane passed over? She was protecting it!

@omarlopezmusic it is so precious. they hold their babies like we hold our very own. and they hold hands when they go to sleep on the water

Nice video, Jason, and great closeups, too.

What camera do you use? The mommies and babies are impossibly cute, aren't they?
