So they have kind of each other's back to try to, you know, fight off predators that might try to attack their young.

I will have my vengeance.

The cutest thing I've ever seen is probably just like a little baby sea otter pup that's just floating by itself waiting for its mom.

I mean, I know I told you about how just waiting for mom to bring up dinner, essentially.

But before that, it's just floating by itself like a little cork, closed eyes, all fluffy and like just...

Look at me.

I'm so adorable.

Like it's got like 10 photographers just around like along the coast or coast trying to take up its picture, including me.

Like it's adorable.

Probably the most playful time I've seen otters are actually river otters.

They actually play.

So like they will swim next to each other or like go up and down or just run all over the place.

So I've seen that in river otters, but I've never really seen that in sea otters.

Yeah, so sea otters have the densest fur, I think, of all mammals.

So basically, sea otters have no fat on them whatsoever, so they're really reliant on that dense fur.

And it does keep them warm, super warm.

So that's why they're able to tolerate living in all these freezing, frigid environments just fine.

And I would imagine river otters also have similarly dense fur.

So that's why they're able to live in Scotland and all these other cold places and play in the snow.

I definitely have never heard otter poop being described as violet.
