It has come to my attention that readers of this blog would like to see more otters on this site. Well, brace yourselves for an otter onslaught of photos and videos, starting with Maureen’s submission of this Zooborns report on a newborn otter pup at the Monterey Bay Aquarium:
And video!
But there’s more! Sender-inner Alison sent me photos she took at the Monterey Bay Aquarium last December and I forgot about them (sorry!) until just now!
Otterly adorable!
Indeed they are! And welcome to my website, I hope you enjoy it!
Aaawwww so cute! Thanks for posting!
Hooray for otter postings. And while we are on the subject of things we’d like to see…a meerkat would be welcome. Love meerkats!
And quokkas. Don’t forget quokkas. And the occasional capybara. A tiger or two would be nice. And baby lions – they are mighty cute! Ditto for heffalumps. And ponies. Not to mention dwarf goats and penguins and all members of the Paridae family… And who would say nay to owls and eaglets and ducks and Golden Retriever puppies? I certainly wouldn’t mind more hamsters, squirrels and chipmunks…
…wombats, flying fox bats, ratties, gerbils, cephalopods…
Oh, yes – definitely flying foxes/other bats, and cephalopods. Love them!
RED PANDAS GALORE, please and thank-you.
Absolutely!! All of the above!
I vote for quokkas too! And don’t forget chinchillas–they are right there with otters for breaking the cute meter.
Well, this otter make most of us say, “Awwww… (ter)”
“Aboard the decommissioned U.S.S. Wheelbarrow “! How do you think of these things? You have to leave your brain to science.
And the hover on the first one – who else could make a rhyming lullaby with ‘abalone’?!
I agree.
I am in awe of NTMTOM’s brain.
May he only use his power for cute!
Extremely cute but I kept thinking, that’s a new born baby? Ouch!! poor mama.
well, he HAS been floofed up in the photo.
Wintertime,
And the floatin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the tide is high
Oh, Your daddy’s got fish
And your mamma’s (not changing this line) good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry
One of these mornings
You’re going to the ease of swimming
Then you’ll spread your fins
And you’ll take to the sea sky
But until that morning
There’s a’nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mammy floating by
BREEEEEEL-yant! š š š
You are totally awesome! WOW! [jaw dropping in amazement]
Wonderful!
I loved it and sang along.
Love this.
