They're so cute. It's like a baby who's still learning.

Thanks

This was one of the cutest things I have seen and can't believe all the animal lovers ignored it.

I love sea otters even more than I did before-

I sent this out to a few people and watched it a few times.

Now I am bumping this thread so maybe more people can be amazed at what bright little babies these are.

(and I am watching it again)...

While sea otters may be known as clowns of the sea – delighting observers with their aerobatics and friendly whiskered faces – a study from the University of Santa Cruz finds that they can also be unlikely climate heroes by increasing the oceans ability to store carbon dioxide.

The new study suggests that thriving sea otter pollutions can keep sea urchins in check which in turn allows kelp – a species of large seaweed – to thrive.

I just read that earlier today. Every species in an ecosystem is an important link in that system - that's why any extinctions at all can endanger whole biomes.

Now take these guys -- they can supply the whole human species with their cute fix for a month at a time.

Thanks

You know Sal and Pat, I read that the first time, and it just didn't look right...but then just copy and pasted...but do you think they meant to say "populations", and missed their own mix-typo? :confused: It certainly would make more sense (imo)

Thanks

See why they are so cute?

I am thankful that (so far) you don't see otter fur coats or otter stew -

If you know of either, please don't tell me. Let me just think they are not in danger - however I am sure they have somebody that eats them in the ocean. I don't want to know that either for sure.

They are just soooooooo cute....

Thanks

Hah 3M you are an inveterate proof reader (eagle eye/nit picker) too -

Yes I read it twice - once to be sure you didn't write pollutions instead of populations in error and then again in the article itself - it made more sense the second time but I am still not sure if they meant it or not...

I guess even cutie otters pollute the environment a little.
