Film Description: A storm grows, a sea otter pup is separated from her mother, and a young woman bound for adventure blows in to town. On a windswept beach these lives collide and an entire species' survival gets personal. Katie and our playful pup, otter number 501, learn to navigate the opportunities and risks of life without anchor while we see the incredible efforts people have undertaken to return sea otters from the brink of extinction. Framed against the strikingly beautiful Monterey Bay coastline we discover just how serious this threat remains. Their adventure, unexpected as it was, illustrates what we can do to protect the southern sea otter...and ourselves.

I'd be a terrible worker here. I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to take off those gloves and just bundle this little one up in my arms and kiss her all over.

Sea otters have got to be one of the cutest animals in existence. Red Pandas are the only fluff balls preventing me from saying THE outright cutest.
