They are so precious. I can't stop smiling.
IKR they are so freaking cute..
I can't stop making this face. 😙😚 I want to hug them, but I know the mom would claw my eyes out...
Same girl!
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that otters are vile ferocious monsters who can and will give you rabies without any remorse. Just be careful around them!
IKR... soo precious.
"Otters keep a favorite rock for their entire lives storing it in the pocket of skin under their arms." How interesting! Otters are smart and too adorable.
@Box Addict AAAHH 😭 💕
@Box Addict STOP! too cute
That's where I store my favorite rock too.
Reminds me of myself with crystals
I used to rescue a river otter. He was too attached and became a family pet. He collected and hid all his favourite pebbles and shells at one spot and he'll bring out 2 at a time to play on his belly when he's floating in the nearby still water. He used that to smash his food open too.
This was very cute. However, there were actually 2 types of otters shown here: sea otters and river otters. They are quite different. Sea otters are the ones that float on their backs with their babies on their chests. However, river otters primarily live and sleep on land and rear their infants there. Therefore, river otters don't have the thick coats of fur that sea otters do. They also don't leave their children floating in beds of seaweed.
And river otters don’t use or store rocks under their arm
Yes!!! I was checking the comments in search of someone pointing this out!
There are many species of otters, only two are from salt water. The Marine Otter is in the same genus as the american river species, so somewhat similar to them, and the floaty one is the Sea Otter, very different.
Also river otters are violent psychos who can grow up to 6 feet and literally eat crocodiles
Thank you for bringing some facts.
@@juannaym8488 weren’t it sea otters who have been observed killing and raping seals for the hell of it?
the way the mom looks so happy when cuddling her child is just so precious
indeed, not like she would place and ad "due changed life conditions we have to let our child go".
Wouldn't you if you got to wrap your paws around that chunky, furry little monkey?
Mom's work is never done whether you're human or animal. Shout out to all the moms. Bless You all. ❤
For sure
Awww. Bless you too dear. 💕
tell that to marsupials
Humans are animals moron XD lololol
Did you ever pay attention in elementary biology??
ISNT THAT THE TRUTH MOMS ! BLESSED NEW YEAR AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS THE BESTEST EVER
Just when I thought they couldn’t get more otterly adorable.
You win
You win
You win
You win
You win
Oh my gosh this is just precious! Otters really are such loving creatures!
They look cute but they are actually monsters.
They do horrible things to baby seals 🦭
please be carefull how one says omg
Watch the Casual Geographic video on otters. It made me think twice about getting in the water with otters aka demon water weasels.
😳
@@viperracing2889 but can you have one as a pet?
As a man almost in his 30s, I can indeed confirm that having a mom throw a blanket on you after a stressful day is one of the best feelings.
An otter must be my spirit animal because I'm all about sleeping 11 hours a day. Lol
11 hours? That’s all?
Sincerely,
A narcoleptic (spirit animal: cat) 😂
I’m with you!!! 💕
You ment a leneş
@@willse_ lol..
Otters ~ surely are not..
HIGH energy expenditures, followed by necessary sleep.
*humans maybe (?) not, so much..
Me too. Lol
All those otter moms chillin is one of the sweetest things i've seen
2:50 JUST LOOK AT THIS. Mama otter is literally kissing her baby's head while hugging them aaaaaa
The bond between a mother and her kids is priceless, and these otters are just so cute !
Aww that otter mom is so sweet and caring for her little one its so cute
amen.. real caring moms are a treasure, as are all of their children
Never knew about them keeping a favorite rock in an under arm pouch. Guess it's like keeping a useful tool in a vest pocket lol!Very interesting!
Nothing is more precious than a mother's love.
Nothing in this world compares to the level of love mothers have for her children
Otters are one of my favorite animals! They’re soo darn cute 🥰
Hi friend, you can help us continue feeding the poor stray cats by liking and supporting them, thanks in advance😘🐈🙏🏻
otters are cute, donkeys are absolutely adorable, dogs and kitties are many ppl's favorite source for attention and unwavering companionship
Awww that is very protective and amazing parenting,otters are such majestic creatures,they are like little sea cats,they are all beautiful🐶🐱🐻🦊🐯
@AntiCringe uh what?
@@alexev651 There's always some jerk whose response to cute videos like this is to harp on about animal behavior that would be genuinely horrible in humans, but for the most part, even if it IS ugly to hear about, is just part of what wild animals are like as they struggle to survive in the wild. They don't actually care, they just want to upset people. Ignore them.
@@DanceMonkeychg yes there are parade rainers... But they are a particularly ferocious mammal.
Beyond the stated behaviors, they are also one of the most aggressive and unique predators. They fish by... Outswimming fish. They are literally the most agile swimmers in their environments, which is incredible considering modern sea otters only evolved to live in the water full time 4ish million years ago. Sharks are in the hundred million year range.
And with that ridiculous aggression and agility, you get some less than glamorous behaviors like infanticide and the r word and playing with dying seal pups.
Don't look at it with human standards. To otters, it's normal. They are a highly specialized and fascinating and adorable species, but like ALL species parts of their lives are pretty dark when you apply human reasoning.
And I do think part of learning about nature should involve parts of it beyond the super cute. The dodo doesn't need to go into graphic detail, but it is subpar to not at least hint that they and all their relatives are the best family of killers on the planet. Maybe the "hater" could be more nuanced, but I'd prefer it to just making everyone want a pet otter.
@@RD1R should I know what the "r" word is?
@@TheOriginalJenafire non-consent.
I love how they wrap their babies in a sea weed blanket it's the cutest thing I've ever seen🥺🥺 otters are so lovely
I wish I was in the Otter family. 11 hours of sleep without any worries. Sounds great to me.👍🏽 Ultimate Peace 💚
Lol I wish you were
I love sleeping in too! 🛌
I think they have worries. There's always danger in the wild.
No worries? Like, uh, finding enough food to eat, or being eaten?
They keep their favorite rock forever. I don’t know why that made me teary eyed. They are just so precious ❤️
Sure, but when I keep my favorite hammer for a few years my wife tells me to get a new one for no reason.
@@Chromedbustop you arent an otter, ryan
Otter's keeping a fave rock is so kool!
So otters have a concept of sentimentality? Fascinating!
Otter: " This is my rock, my very favorite rock. I will keep it close and use it wisely."
Seaweed blankets and favorite rocks... the cuteness is melting my brain
Makes me appreciate moms even more. In every shape and form, moms are the real heroines 😌💕
They are so pristine that it feels almost otterworldly! ✨
😍
"Otters spends 11 hours of a day sleeping."
O god. I want to be reincarnated as an otter for next life.
I thought that too!
😄❤
Otter activity is so energy expensive that maxing the rest time is essential to survival
This was ridiculously cute. I've always thought otters were cool and now I think they are in my top 5 favorite animals. Peace and love to you and your family ❤💚❤💚
Otters are highly intelligent also..so sweet
Sea otters 🦦 are so cute especially when wrapped up in blankets
Awww animal moms are so cute and caring!!
Another idiot that thinks humans aren't animals XD
@@gimpyrules6714 prob he thinks human mom's aren't good than anather animals , and I'm totally agree and sure about this.
@@ciuppacapra3720 humans are animals
Like seriously lol, humans are in the anamlia kingdom, which makes us animals, we aren't special
@gimpy rules, I don't know who you are. But I am so glad about what you're doing! Thank you Sir!
I never knew they kept rocks under their arms 🥺 that’s so smart and cute
me either 😊
So precious, their babies are so beautiful.🦦
what sweet little creatures. They hold hands when they sleep. Awweee 🥰
there is no stronger bond than the one of a mother to her child
A brothers in arms bond is stronger
Not true why do some mothers abandon they children just keep it about the otter please
@@mistercreator8993 alot of other animals kill their babies if they have too many they can handle or know they are born messed up
Including otters lol
So yeah kept it about the otters lolol
wish that were always true
Do you tell your kids God is real? Because that is abuse as well in my eyes
Awww, if only people could be more like animals, actually caring about each other and actually loving their family
Sad fact: most nature is very cruel
And I believe that humanity cares more for each other than the nature
@@toyuki6367 idk, I've never heard about animals nuking each other. 😒
Truth is, we aren't separate from nature, we're apart of it, and since we're an invasive species, we do a lot of harm. I wouldn't say we're any more loving than anything else when we cause so much death and destruction just by existing 🤷♀️
@@SuperPrettyPink101 for humanity the caring I meant was about “families” most of the nature families would leave or even kill their own newborns.
I won’t blame you not knowing tho, but nature really is cruel
Well you should watch hood nature, those animals not caring as you think..i mean male
@@SuperPrettyPink101 they dont have the brains to nuke eachother but I bet if they did they’d do the same💀 we’re not angels but other animals aren’t either
so basically what you’re saying is otters are the best animals ever 🥺
Beautiful, the love and experience of a Mother knows no bounds, no matter how much we clash😢❤
They are a JOY to watch. More than once out hiking or canoeing, we've come across an otter playground! They may get startled at first, but if you're still and quietly keep your distance, they'll go back to their serious business--play! :-)
@@abcdefg-wv5ntnorth Florida/south Georgia. We have sleek little river otters, though; they look different from these fluffy sea otters. Still very diverting! :-)
I wish I had some in my area ! The only baby animals I've ever seen where I live are puppies .
@@patmaurer8541 cute!
Aww! So cute to see the way they lay on their Mom's & nap. And to see how close that they stay together in a group. I never knew their group was called "a raft". And I never knew it took 6 mos in order for them to be able to swim. Ya learn something new every day!
Learning new things is great :)
Some moms suck, but these moms are angels on Earth. So precious and beautiful 💛
This just gave me the warm and fuzzies....soooooooo adorable.
I love how they close their eyes and hold their babies. 😍
That's called sleeping, every living creature besides plants does it XD
@@gimpyrules6714 Lmao 🤣 Touché!
And hold there hands i didn't know otters had hands.learn something new everyday.
@@gimpyrules6714Most animals and birds don't sleep like humans. It's actually quite unusual to sleep for so many hours because it is dangerous. Many animals sleep either in short amounts or very lightly.
Also they are cute there, but learn about what they do with other baby animals and you won't think they are so cute lol
I love when they get the babies all fluffed up so they can float while mom goes fishing.
The cuteness level has gone to a million 😂
2:50 I love how their little mouths just look like a dot. So stinkin cute.
Love how when they get bigger the mom basically becomes a pillow
This makes me so happy, I love otters!
Hi friend, you can help us continue feeding the poor stray cats by liking and supporting them, thanks🐈😘❤️
Being happy, by observing the happiness and love of others is awesome
I never get bored watching the baby otters... Cute little fur balls !!
Otters are my favorite animal. They always look like they’re having so much fun.
This made me cry…. Animals are so precious…. I wish people could develop a deeper conscience and emotional intelligence when it comes to animals. We should love them , respect them and protect them as we do to others humans.
"Amen"
I have gotten to sea otters with their babies in the wild up close and personal in Morro Ba, California. They are so fascinating to watch.
Мама,вот и весь ответ,любая мама,для неё её чадо дороже всего в жизни,хоть мы и разного вида!👍
Credit for all the moms out there taking care of their young! Beautiful to see. I didn't know they used tools, how cool! Subhan'Allah.
I LOVE THIS, THEY ARE SO CUTE, THE WAY THEY HUG 😭😭😭💛 my heart melts
There are many benefits to having children who interact with animals as well as adults. For example, by taking care of pets, which are fragile, irreplaceable creatures and taking care of them, making it easier for them to grow Compassionate and warm hearted. Also, by observing changes in a pet that cannot talk on a daily basis, you can feel the effect of being gentle and sensitive to people's feelings. Both of these effects are created over a long period of time, not only by temporary contact, but also by the relaxing effect of being together. Even if you cannot live as a pet, it is a good idea to interact with the animals from time to time and support the animal channels🐈🐈🙏
Humans are animals
So anything you say holds no credibility since you said that basic ass moron statement
I learned in basic biology in like 1st grade that humans are animals XD
Your cult tells you otherwise I assume?
@@gimpyrules6714 🙄
Yes, Mum’s are the best. They do everything expected of them and way more!
This is so heartwarming, looking at Otter and and their pups. I really missed my mother 🥲 RIP
This gets said a lot, but otters are better parents to their kids than some people!
*Most people
Just ask BLM
@@jimmylim5015 W...Why? Why do you actually need to bring something completely irrelevant up in a video that is so wildly different and unrelated? Some people suffer from so much mental illness that they've reached the point where they can't separate anything from the one thing they're obsessed with. Get over yourself.
...Oh and also, you can totally be a part of BLM and be a good parent. The same insult could be said about lots of different groups of which you'd probably associate yourself with.
Now then, if you're not going to contribute anything at all related to the damn video I suggest crawling back to a comment section that will give you all the sweet validation you crave and you can bubble wrap yourself to your heart's content in all that BS you tell yourselves constantly because your reality is warped and frail.
@@haydendutton6916 Snowflake, you can crawl back to your soy-filled cave because that's where you belong. BLM is a terrorist organization who burned and looted, and don't care about certain black lives unless it falls in their narrative. Come tell me to shut up in person, I've had two tours in Iraq to back it up.
@@jimmylim5015 shut up you race baiting loser. this is an innocent video about OTTERS yet here you are calling people snowflakes. you’re the only triggered person here if seeing a video about mammals raises your blood pressure. please get a life and stop writing comments from your mother’s basement.
Did you know that otters are known to hold hands in the water with the rest of the group when they are sleeping to not float away from each other? How adorable is that!
Duh. That’s said in the video.
Otter pups are utterly adorable and sooo fluffy! 🥰🥰🥰 I love that they hold hands so they don’t float away!
I love otters! They're ferocious, adorable, smart, not to be messed with, and have a favorite rock! One of my favorite books has a story about an otter in it, called, "Ring of bright water", it's amazing and heartbreaking at the same time. Long live these wonderful beings!
Cuteness overload
They are so cute they are such good moms ❤️❤️
Hi friend, you can help us continue feeding the poor stray cats by liking and supporting them, thanks in advance😘🐈🙏🏻
This is the cutest and the most peaceful thing I ever seen.💓
There’s no other love like a mothers love 🦦🌊💕
Mom is mom , nothing can replace mom love and care ❤️❤️❤️
So precious how committed and dedicated mama is to her baby.
They also kill their own babies if they are born messed up sooooooo actually yeah that is committed to giving the child a better life
What a beautiful and precious animal!!! They are better than some human mothers...
Whoever designed this creature is flexing their design skills on “cuteness” way too much
They switched between sea and river otters like they’re the same thing!!! They are very different!! Loved this video tho very cute :)
I thought they were trying to represent both.
Ridiculously cute and beautifully touching.
Nerdy note: quite a few animals use tools (e.g octopus) and some birds, (e.g. Crows)
They did say "one of the only other mammals", so I guess they were mostly referencing like, primates? Regardless I love seeing animals use tools. One of my favorites is that experiment they did with crows, and the crows were smart enough to bend a wire into a hook to pull out a vial of food. Super adaptable animals.
*GOD BLESS MOMS EVERYWHERE !!!*
I didn’t know any of this. How fascinating. So precious and sweet.
I saw an otter at Lincoln park zoo and there’s so adorable.
Well ok that was just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen 😭😄🥰
Sea otter babies are sooo cute! 🥰❤️
Wonderful, uplifting, heart-warming. Thank you!
I never knew they were born unable to swim. They are so adorable!!
This is so adorable! ☺️ ❤️
loving, compassionate family units are inspiring and vital to anyone's peace and Serenity
A Loving Mother is a Loving Mother, it is not species specific.
Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Otters are one of the cutest animals in the world and seeing all this is just cuteness overload!!
No wonder the baby otters are so cuddly to humans. Search this title "Otter that likes its owner's feet so much it runs amok". It's so sweet to watch.
Human mom's should watch how mammals look after their puppies. RESPECT.
Was your mom mean to you, or what?
Humans are mammals and not every mammal has puppies. Just wanted to put that out there, just in case.
Humans are mammals dumbass XD lololololololololololololakdjdns
@@videoettaceo8900 no stupido
@@jaycolbs3251 just in case
Otter mothers are so precious and amazing. Such divine love. She is so full of love and caring for her adorable little ones. The world is better because of Her.
It's hard to see where Mom ends and the babies begin 🥰
Loving, caring, nurturing.
Otters are one of the cutest and most wholesome animals!
Which animals are among the least wholesome?
This is adorable ☺️
“You’re safe,when you’re with me. Love you my little thing.” Mama otter said.😄😄😄
Otter moms with their babies is just about the cutest thing on this planet. The little snuggles get my heart every time💜
How amazing! I love this!
The otter is one of my favorite mammals. They aren't just precious and adorable, it's hard not to anthropomorphise when watching how similar they are to humans.
It’s good to see how adorable they are! We live on a lake and when our grandma gave the kids duckling for Easter, we raised them in a pen with a pool until they were grown. Then we allowed them to get to the lake where….. apparently their disappearance was due to being the otter family’s meal one night. 😢
Mothers hold the weight of the world on their shoulders. The more I learn about the natural world, the more apparent that fact is. From having to make new members of their species out of their own bodies and bear the pains and struggles of pregnancies and birth, to having to protect them, as well as teaching them how to hunt or live on their own in general. Females of all species are the real heroes.
The word "Mother" is sexist, transphobic and racist according to the feminist so it was decided to change to " Birthing person " in dictionary, so watch your pronoun
@@deidresable Thanks for the laugh. I'm not even going to bother entertaining that statement which I'm pretty sure is inaccurate anyway, considering the fact that the term terf is already in the dictionary.
Too much cuteness in this video, I'm melting...! 💖
Yeah. This amount of cuteness is a bit too much. It should be outlawed. Lol. Watched it 4 x
Cute otter's 😁
This is so freaking adorable and wholesome
Otters are precious.... Absolutely
Otters and Sloths are hands down my all time favorite animals in the world. They're all just so stinking adorable. What I wouldn't give to hold either or just even a few minutes.
Really cute
Hi friend, we want your encourage us to continue feeding the poor stray cats by liking and supporting them, thanks❤️😘🙏🙏
That’s the sweetest most precious thing I ever seen!!
That love is beautiful.
