Adorable Series of Otter Pics and Gifs That Perfectly Explain Why Folks Refer to Otters as 'Dogs of the Sea'

Hey, friends. Today we are going to talk a little bit about our favorite sea pups, otters! Otters are not only adorable but also full of amusing quirks! They have a special pouch called the "otter pocket" where they store their favorite rocks for cracking open shellfish, akin to a built-in tool belt for seafood. These playful creatures love to slide down muddy or snowy slopes into the water, often engaging in repeated bouts of impromptu water slides just for the fun of it. Sea otters are known to hold hands while sleeping, forming cozy "rafts" to stay connected and safe.

Additionally, otters have been observed juggling rocks or pebbles as a way to practice their hunting skills, providing both entertainment and honing their abilities. Lastly, their meticulous grooming rituals, where they float on their backs and meticulously groom their fur with their paws, are not just cute but essential for maintaining their waterproof insulation in the cold waters they inhabit. Now, let's enjoy a whole bunch of smile-inducing otter pictures and gifs!
