Sea Otters

Curious Kit
We found the kits were very interested in boaters whereas the Moms not so much. The kits would struggle to see us sometimes squealing at Mom.
Sea Otter
From the first of three trips I did with Sea Otters this past summer.

Early moring on the water so peaceful.

Shush Baby is sleeping.
I think baby can sleep through anything although we were quiet the motor from the boat made noise.

Wrapped in kelp.
When resting the Sea Otters will wrap themselves in anchoured or rooted kelp to prevent them floating away.
Fuzzball
A young baby resting on Mom's tummy, it didn't wake up for more than a minute or two.
I wanna see!
Mother Otter decides to move junior to a safer place and junior wants to see what we look like, too cute.

The epitome of innocence.
Looks like a wet stuffy toy doesn't it? This was definitely a high point of the day from our otter trip. You may have seen a photo similar on the internet my friend Anthony Bucci asked me to join him on this trip. He posted a tighter version recently.
