Thank you, Toola for all you've done as a surrogate mommy to 501 and all the other ott pups you've helped get back to the wild!!! I bet you are definitely missed by those who work in this otter program! What a beautiful lady (otter) you were! 💙🩵💕
so cute! the baby otters starts playing with the rope knot, then has to smooch and snuggle his mom quick before she leaves. awww! I would be worried that someone wod try moving the baby while she were gone thinking that it is abandoned. or if the boat moves.
They are not gone that long and I am sure the baby is full grown now. Plus boat owners are not using their boat on in Summer hot season not winter. By that time the otter is old enough to not be left alone. Think!
vin 950 lmao, love how you dropped that “think!” Line back, that was embarrassingly lame when that guy said that, glad you shoved it back at them. Persons dumb as hell, “think!” ? Think!? What the hell is that supposed to even mean anyway ya know!? Like, peoples boating habits and shit isn’t common knowledge and not something somebody could sit there long enough just thinking about until they know the answer lmao, they’d have to actually: know the answer. Like hey, what foods and drinks do I have in my fridge right now? You don’t know? Well OBVIOUSLY I like chocolate milk, so that’s there, and I have leftover pizza in there too cuz I got pizza last night, and there’s a 2 litre of coke, a carton of milk, carton of cream, etc etc.. Think!
If you got teary eyed from this, you’ll be full on sobbing if you watch their other otter video about the baby orphan otter being adopted by an adult female otter.
I grew up 5 miles from Elkhorn Slough...watching this video makes me feel nostalgic. Our otters in Monterey Bay are a treasure, I would go ocean kayaking and oftentimes they would swim along with me...and they are even cuter in real life.
Hope those boat owners check their boats before they go out! Hate for mom to come back to an empty boat space! And baby to fall off in the middle of the ocean going, huh....
Why doesn't someone create an area for the Moms to drop their kids off in? Like baskets or something? It's dangerous having them swim among boats with outboard motors. I think someone needs to create a DayCareCenter for these hard working Moms.
The whole "Planet of the Apes" thing just creeps me out. But I don't think I'd mind "Planet of the Otters". I think I could grow to like our Otter overlords.
Years ago there was an English Military General who served many years in the English Army. He lived his final years amongst 50 dogs, and several friendly animals in his large mansion. The General had no wife, no children only his beloved animals. When he was dying of old age. Many of his former soldiers who served under his command visited him and all asked the same question. "Sir, we need to know. Why do you live alone with no company except these animals." The Generals response to his men, "after many long years of seeing wars and the cruelty that man can do to his fellow man on the battlefield, I rather live my final years in peace amongst my animals."
MeekoSoup because the little baby cant swim so when the mother swims she wrap her arms around the pup since the mother swim so fast and the pup cant swim fast
That was cool, they are so precious. I think the narrator is Daniel Stern-he narrated the tv show The Wonder Years. I loved that show as a kid, good memories when I think of it or hear this guy's voice. :)
That's how it is mostly in the wild. Men are just sperm donors. Once the deed is done, he's going to search for other ladies to impregnate... making sure his line continues. Just imagine if human society behaves that way.
When I was up in Alaska, we when to a Marine Rehabilitation center, and they showed us the otter nursery. I've never seen so many cute things at one time. They were all playing with their blankets, cuddling stuffed toys, and sucking on pacifiers.
Why do otters do such ridiculously cute things? That little clip at 0:42 of the baby otter alone in a bed of seaweed but wrapped in it so it was anchored to that one spot and it was difficult to spot out at first but you could see its little body moving with the waves which was so adorable!!!
Idk something about the mom otters carrying there babies on there stomach..gives me..paternal chills..idk..protection and spoiledness..security blanket..favorite toy..just plain chills of comfort..
No but someone could take it home and keep it as a pet which is not a good idea....although they are cute they need their mother to learn everything on how to survive in the water and be happy as what they are.....wild otters and not pets.
Critique808 this is why you don't see boats zipping out of docks, they're supposed to leave slowly in case of animal contact and also other boat traffic.
Can you imagine how excited the boat owner would be if he realized his boat was a otter play pin? I would be over the moon excited! I’d bring it kelp chips or something 😃👍🏻
I lived in the Hebrides for a couple of years and swam with sea otters several times. The juveniles were very curious. I don't think I fully appreciated how amazing an experience it was. I was pretty young at the time and sea otters were just kind of there.
AWWWWWWWWW Okay, people should have little "otter playpens" around the harbor. A simple little platform like where she put her baby. That way people can still take their boats out while not accidentally taking baby for a ride x'D
THAT IS SOOO COOL, i love how clever animals get and that momma finding a way to keep her baby safe, though my mind wonders.... what happens if that boat takes off :(
the boat owner could move the pup to another boat next door? or maybe they cud leave an artifical boay with a platform of similar hieght to leave the pup on so when men mom comes back she will see it in same location.??
smart otter mom! as someone who i loves sailing, i'd feel so honored to have my boat used like that. i'll just hate to wait before sailing out :') we once had a sound-sleeping mallard on it - we didn't want to disturb the poor thing. just had to wait with out trip for a while.
I grew up in this area my grandmother was born in Moss Landing near Elkhorn Slough it is an awesome place to watch otters. Del Monte Beach and Big Sur.
I've been there! It is a great place to visit. There are so many playful sea otters, harbor seals and sea lions. When I was there there were wails too at the mouth of the harbor.
That was a great film clip, thankyou! Wisdom, strength, compassion, resilience & endurance some of their amazing qualities. Humans can learn so much from animals. Such underestimated little souls
Honestly, I'd take 24 hours of this over National Geographic. The abscence of any kind of dramatic music over just clips of otters gives us more time to be in their headspace and put ourselves in their situation.
that baby on the boat is so sweet. imagine going to your boat and seeing that it's become a baby otter creche. i think i'd melt and they'd find a puddle with a baby otter nearby.

+GuanXiaoSoul Yes, some otters have exhibited necrophilic behaviour.
Josh Andallo omg I will look at them differently now
that's so smart to put the pup on the boat. hopefully the owner is aware of this
More like making them there own anchor them
They probably are.
Dear Mrs Otter,
Anytime you need a babysitter just let me know.
Hahahaha

Ottermoms, I think MTV should do a series about it and skip this teen mom thing....
I agree 😂

I know teen brats is garbage!

This should be the only reality TV
The mother has no otter choice...

I am worried about that too. Hopefully, all the pups survive!
I'm sure the boat owners know, especially since PBS just covered it.
I'm sure in such an otter and wildlife rich area they are aware of things like this
I'm sure shit and piss aren't the same.
@@alexanderbannon6169 They might be aware of it but I hope they care enough too.
That was sweet.

Mothers are truly amazing creatures, in all shapes and sizes 💕
How about spider mothers
Cellar spiders guard their young hatchlings until they've matured enough to survive on their own. @@thelonelysuntzu4818
I am in awe of the adaptation the mother otter is doing for the pup survival.

And who's tax dollars are going to that?
You?

"Be right back, babe."
"Okay, Mom. I'll be okay."
Who else is here seeking emotional refuge from Velma? 🤣
The whole "Planet of the Apes" thing just creeps me out. But I don't think I'd mind "Planet of the Otters". I think I could grow to like our Otter overlords.
They would probably make us do chores like picking up the pups' poop or wrapping them in seaweed. Not saying I mind though xD
You should've done a Kent Brockman. "I, for one, hail our otter overlords."
you see that south park episode where otters have become as smart as humans?
No I'll have to look that up. Thanks man!
You should watch otters vs turtle's and monkeys
That is the cutest story and cutest everything...ahhhhhh
Me, too!
I love sea otters. They are the cutest 😍
Watching three otter videos in a row because a RUclipsr told you to is super easy, barely an inconvenience!
Watching otters hold hands is TIGHT
Yeah it is!
so that's what sea otter daycare is like
here from Pitch meeting... where are those amazing Otters??? omg
The baby playing with the rope 🥺🥺🥺🥺. How adorable...

cool
This is why I like animals better than most people.
I was a cop for 20 years and now I'm the same. Animals are my friends.
Sad but understandable. True Story? 🙄🌷🌷
What good Moms they are!! This otter mom knows how precious life is.
So why do otters hold hands? :\
It's so they don't float away from each other. :)
Duh
Duh -.-
Yea, DUUUUHHH!.... Actually I wondered the same thing,
I wasn't expecting an obvious answer to be honest,.
MeekoSoup because the little baby cant swim so when the mother swims she wrap her arms around the pup since the mother swim so fast and the pup cant swim fast
HOW ARE THEY SO SMART THEY KNOW HOW TO TIE KNOTS IN SEA LEAVES WHEN I TOOK 7 YEARS TO LEARN HOW TO TIE MY SHOE LACES
Tyla Z you're probably just dumb
This baby otter playing made my day, I'm completely melting
frackin' adorable. i just hope no one goes to take off with a baby otter on the back of their boat.
That was cool, they are so precious. I think the narrator is Daniel Stern-he narrated the tv show The Wonder Years. I loved that show as a kid, good memories when I think of it or hear this guy's voice. :)
This is the cutest video title and content on RUclips.
I am in awe of momma otters and how they manage to raise their precious kids
Otter fathers = dead beats
EasySnake nah, otter moms just can't have grown otters hanging around her pups. so he's got to go XD.
As is the case within most of the animal kingdom, unfortunately.
Sarii Fox birds sometimes have some pretty damn dedicated fathers (cardinals, penguins) lol, emperor penguin fathers really put in some serious work.
true, that's a very valid point. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of mammals
That's how it is mostly in the wild. Men are just sperm donors. Once the deed is done, he's going to search for other ladies to impregnate... making sure his line continues. Just imagine if human society behaves that way.
That’s so cute that the mom has this thought out plan/location, so smart!
I love the names of the boats -- Ursa Major and Ursa Minor (Big and Little Bears). In the night sky, that's Big and Little Dippers.
So adorable that's why I love PBS they always keeping it real
When I was up in Alaska, we when to a Marine Rehabilitation center, and they showed us the otter nursery. I've never seen so many cute things at one time. They were all playing with their blankets, cuddling stuffed toys, and sucking on pacifiers.
...So... Does it not explain the hand holding, or was I not paying attention?
So they don't float away
Just to clarify the previous comment: so they don’t float away from each other when they sleep
I missed that as well. Does anyone know where in the video does it specifically talk about holding hands..
Omg the pup playing with the rope is so cute
If I saw a baby otter on my boat step, there's no way I am pulling off. That would change my plans until mom returns for her baby.
Awwwww otter pup is so wiggly and fluffy 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Why do otters do such ridiculously cute things? That little clip at 0:42 of the baby otter alone in a bed of seaweed but wrapped in it so it was anchored to that one spot and it was difficult to spot out at first but you could see its little body moving with the waves which was so adorable!!!

summer would be me watching otters day and night
That is literally the sweetest thing in the world
What a smart Momma she is. Takes such good care of her pup .
Now that's smart, dangerous to go up stream, but real smart to take her baby to a safe place. What a mother.
I love that evolution has even given baby otters floatie fur.
I can’t stop watching videos about otters 😫😫lol so damn cute
Wow...and what if the boat leaves before mother otter comes back!?
Salto DelPuma What happens if the otters get run over by a boat?

I Loooove Otters! I just think they are sooo adorable❤️❤️

Love Elkhorn, great kayaking and otter heaven!
Did I miss it or they don’t tell why otters hold hands? They did talk about the seaweed, but not about holding hands.
