People, the Minnesota Zoo gets it. Finally a reputable establishment that understands the evil, evil powers that otters have over just about every other living creature! They simply cannot be stopped.
Washing washing ALWAYS WASHING, Alie S.!

Why do we want to stop otter from taking over the world? Just think...seafood at every meal, lots of lazing about the pool and EXTREMELY CUTE OVERLORDS!!! What is wrong with that?
DAMN YOU Lilyleo!! I was THIS close to a BLEEN!
I would be gladly be enslaved by an otter. I only ask for the occasional snorgle.
Mudge approves!
Ahhh the power of the evil otters to out cute everything.
I welcome our new ITTY-BITTY-EARED MASTERS! As long as I may scritch its widdle head and perhaps play patty-cake wif da pawsies... AND THAT NOSE! *dies and iz ded*
Otters are totally evil! I saw a duck land in an otter enclosure at the Zoo, and the whole lot of them ganged up and took it down - very quickly.
Gah! All the youtube videos aren't working for me!! I wanna see the otterses!!
AHHHHHH! So cute!!!
I willingly submit to our Otter Overlords.
And it's not even Ottersday!
Speaking of which, it's late, and I otter go to bed.
Welcome back, otters!
yuk yuk yuk
Sea Otters are the kelp forest rangers of the oceans! If you think they're cute regularly, just imagine them in tiny cloaks with tiny bows and arrows to defend the forests from the encroaching threat of sea urchins. Aaaieee~
Seriously, otters use tools with great precision and discretion, have dedicated life long relationships with each other, AND are cuter than puppies kittens and bunnies combined. I have NO idea why they haven't managed to take over the earth yet.
Hmmm.....seems to me that maybe someone at the Minnesota zoo is a CO fan??
Teho??
Yep, this otter clip is part of a promotion for a new exhibit area the MN Zoo has been preparing, "Russia's Grizzly Coast". Officially opens this coming Saturday.

(I'm not *at* the zoo, though; I just live near it.)
Yay, my zoo made it onto Cute Overload! :D
otterzotterzotterzotterz! oh my!
cuter than puppies, kittens and bunnies combined? Sarah, I can arrange for your deprogramming, will you come willing or do we have to have an intervention?
my workplace is like a zoo.
Otters, they try to have it all--even the disapproval. My bunneh is not amused.
One day otters will rule the world, while kittens and puppies bow in deference!
They'll be soaked to the skin, but with just a rub-a-dub, they're all fluffy again.
Insane.
I was reading through the comments and saw MY name on one and I thought, "Wait a minute -- I don't live in Minnesota!" Then I realized, my name has been usurped by a youngster that hasn't even been around for as long as I've been a Kari!
But on the subject of otters: They're OTTER-LICIOUS!!!
That sounded really trollish. I'm sowwy.
JonTom would approve too!
I don't think they have to worry about their backs too much. I mean they TAKE ON CROCODILES for goodness sake:

What good clean fun! I've gotta go now and book a trip to Minnesota. K. Bye.
Otters are extremely cute AND intelligent enough to use their cutenes for evil... however, have you ever visited otters at a zoo? They are extremely stinky! Ack! I'd say the stinkiness balances out the cuteness and so would prevent them from TOTAL world domination (though not from dominating a country or continent or two).
I went to the Dallas World Aquarium to visit a friend who loved otters and wanted very badly to see the ones they had there. As we found our way over to the exhibit, we saw a father shake his head and say, "That's not very family friendly. Not family friendly at all."
We got to the exhibit, and (as was Jaggy's experience), saw an otter tearing a poor duck to bits! Yes, it was Nature in all of its glory, but that one traumatized a few kids. I will never think of otters the same way again.
Meg, Meg, Meg-- when will you ever learn? It's not otters who are evil...
it's SQUIRRELS! THEY'RE EVIL! EVIL, I TELL YOU!
Aaaaaah, I love having home-state pride! There are lots of cute animals here.
Aren't otters just sea-squirrels after all? Or maybe squirrels are just land-otters. :)
Reminds me of that South Park episode where Cartman freezes himself so he won't have to wait for the Nintendo Wii's release. He ends up in a distant future filled with warring atheist groups, one of which is made up of fiendish sea otters.

Kari, I hear ya, there is another with my name who pops up sometimes and says things I would never say. That's life on the net. Just ask Not That Mike The Other Mike.
If ever a comment BEGGED me to insert a rogue "bleen" or two...
Otters are extreeeemely adorabaubble!
Word...my membership dollars at work! I have not yet seen the new exhibit, but this ad is really going over big here in MN. And my cats are pretty pissed.
One Skunk Todd:"Aren't otters just sea-squirrels after all? Or maybe squirrels are just land-otters. :)"
No they are Sea-Ferrets... being from the Mustelid family.
Kittehs are cute and catch and eat birds and fish, puppies are cute and can catch and eat a lot of things. (Had a spaniel as a kid that brought in PART of a baby duck. eww.)
So I don't really see how devouring a duck is somehow a minus for an otter, but not for more domesticated carnivores.
If you love otters, check out http://www.vanaqua.org/ottercam/
The Vancouver Aquarium in Vancouver, Canada has a 24 hour live web cam of their totally cute otters.
By the way, when it looks like they're preening themselves, they're fluffing out their fur to create air...it talks about it on the website. Too adorable.
I just saw this ad on tv last night! My daughters and I are SOOOOO excited to see the new exibit!!!
lol Kim!
I mean lol Kim @ the welcome back otters comment heh, that was cute too
that is the cutest commercial! I love it
The Kansas City Zoo had a similar advertisement, but for koalas!

Leslie -- it's the vast no-wing conspiracy!
I saw this on TV last night too! and immediately assumed that the campaign was done by someone who is a CO regular.
Theo, maybe someone could write a "bleenizer," like the old Swedish Chef "bork-bork-bork-izers."
And then, maybe it could be used for something like this:

Now I just heard an ad on the radio, too, some guy leaving a pet shop or something apologizing to the animals for leaving them to see the cuties!
Tew teh kontrairii. Kittenz LURVE otterz.
