Baby Otters

What chirps like a bird, whistles, and has one of the plushest furs on the planet? So many animal babies are cute but I think otter pups are near the top of any list. These are African spotted-necked otters and are part of a new Wild About Otter exhibit opening March 31 at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. A definite "10" on the Ahh-o-meter.

A long time ago, some co-workers and I were at lunch discussing reincarnation and what we would like to return as, if we could. One came up with "otter" and I think that's a good choice.
