Nellie the Sea Otter stacks cups at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

Nellie is a well-trained sea otter at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington. Watch her practice a special cup stacking enrichment and demonstrate trained behaviors with her pal, Abra.

I wish I was an otter...

I love how she taps them once she is finished stacking to make sure they are fitting all the way in, and how she lifts them a little to give them back to her trainer once she is done.

I've decided, I'm going to be a Sea Otter when I grow up.

I don't think i've seen something like that. By that i mean, i don't think i've ever seen anything more adorable. By that i mean adorable was redefined by these smart ass otters

I can't even explain what kind of umanly noises I emitted from my mouth. I have to go eat a bowl of rusty nails and punch a rock just to get my manliness back.
