During a trip to Elkhorn Slough, California, a young sea otter noticed my kayak and spent the next 10 minutes playing around and then just left. As a note, please don't feed the otters. This pup was tagged, and was probably looking for food. As you can see, they tend to get dependent on humans. I won't even touch them. I don't think human contact is a good thing. Enjoy it.

  • Why is it a good thing that the cameraguy didn't pet the sea pup? Is for the pups safety or the humans? Either way this is too adorable.

  • @LyricalXilence

    Neither. The otter was probably feed by humans in the past. He was tagged. So we try to discourage the otter from human contact. It's so he doesn't rely on humans for food. Maybe I should have said don't feed the otter. Hope that helps.

  • Thank you for your comments!

  • I agree with you. I was at the Grand Canyon and these people were feeding a squirrel. I told them don't feed the squirrels or they will become dependent on us. The guy says well everybody is doing it so I should to. Just because everybody else is doing it doesn't mean you have to do it. When one person stop then everybody will want to stop as well.

  • I thought YOU were bringing lunch?!

    Awww...forget it...

  • Otter:"Help me up man... this water is cold as h#!!"

  • @Masowai I agree.  Otters are entirely at home in the water. They'll sleep on their back in the water; they're arguably more comfortable in water than on land.
