Some more pictures from the Oakland Zoo. We wandered around the otter enclosure for a while, and all the otters were underwater and refusing to come out. And then when we got to the last part of the enclosure, all of a sudden five otters burst from the water, ran across the middle of the enclosure, ran right up to us, and started chittering and chirping at us. And then they turned around and ran away. Unfortunately it took me a while to get my camera set up, so I only got pictures of a couple of them, but it was pretty amazingly cute.
Those tails are amazing. So huge.
Look at the little hands. I would totally shake hands with an otter. Yeah, yeah, claws, I know. I’d risk it.
