I love those moments where these amazing things happen. Only for you. No one around to see if makes it so much better. You should feel super special. God gave you a gift. Just for you. Well maybe the otter loved it too 😏😘
I was paddling in a Georgia swamp and an otter followed along even caught a fish. It finally became obvious we were keeping him safe from alligators. The otter knew where every alligator hung out and it would stop swimming as we passed and look around to make sure the alligator was staying put.
After reading so many devastating reports of the crisis that our country is in, this beautiful encounter of otter and man brings some peace as I head to bed. Thank you.
I guess the otters don't teach their babies:
"Don't talk to 2-legged strangers; don't open the door to 2-legged strangers; do not interact with 2-legged strangers; do not accept any gifts from a 2-legged stranger"
BTW, could the little guy have been nurtured by the person in the canoe?
Ahw, you sunk. He got you, mate. Yeah, they are friendly post attack, but these dudes work in naval tactics. FR! Mean and evil just the way we train them, now.
Cute, but wildlife scares me a little. I mean that little fella could bite a hand or foot. Did this person raise this pup then release? There must be a story behind why the otter knows this kayaker.
hah yess! Their story is quite charming, he saved the otter from being orphaned, they have a very special bond. I too wouldn't just run up to a wild otter and offer a chin scratch - oh if onlyyyy

What a lucky encounter!
But it is a lovely clip. Pity that there were no fish.

The Crow buys a fish
With a shiny stone
An Otter will show us
His favorite stone
The bearded dragon
Yells with his black beard
We will never know
Nature’s full wonder,
As it should be.
