Baby!Baby!Otter!Otter!
OK peeps the WHOLE DARN WORLD is jealous of the Monterey Bay Aquarium today.
OMG, snoozin' baby otter paws... there's a whole slideshow, too. Check it out!
(top otterling) (listening closely) "...Something strange about this pillow."
(otter underling) "Uh yeah, it's got your HEAD on it." (rolls eyes)
Can you imagine being the lucky zookeeper who gets to play with baby otters?? [headspins]
Wow. I wouldn't even know what to do with myself! They're ADORABLE!
am i first???
moony eyes! hardly any ears at all!
Damn! Thought I was first poster. Oh, well--second!
I'm definitely a-splodin' with teh Qteness.
"I'm a wee little otter. I swim around on my back and do cute little human things with my hands!!!"
My cuteness owns you.
dammit!
SO CUTE! I love otters!
I have always loved to watch otters on TV. They are just so adorable.
I am dead now. It was nice knowing you all.

*Ka-Blooie* I have just exploded because of the cuteness.
Me wantie me wantie, come to mummy Tarka and er um Tarkarete
Their eyes in the lower picture reminds of the candy eyes on chocolate bunnies!
my mother has just informed me i need to join COA (cute overloaders anonymous). i can stop any time. i swear!
Yup. Head just asploded.
AAAAH.. I want to hold one! OHMYGAWD.
Spike, YES, you're right - chocolate bunny eyes! Weird and cute at the same time!
I waaaaaant one!
She says, whining like a 3-year old!
Do I see a disapproving otter??
Too bad otters are so fragile! I'd have a dozen or so as pets, if I could!
Yay! One more reason to revisit my favorite city!
there's info and a video here:

I think otter on right is giving us the patented Woodstock "innocent" look.
(Why can I not find an image of that hi-larious Peanuts strip where Woodstock demonstrates the look? Are the internets busted today?)
Beth -- yep. Click either of the photos in the post & that's where they'll take you.
;)
I think my head just caved in from the cuteness here. I think otters are amazing.
I really needed this post today after the terrible news I heard about the bombing of an Animal Market in Iraq yesterday. Let all of us animal lovers take a moment to honor the critters (and the 14 humans) that were lost. Dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, monkeys, snakes...the list goes on and on. :(
OMG i want one (two). Elvis wants one(two). I will make my back yard into a pond for them.
*splodes*
You should change the post title to, "You Otter Know". Sorry. :oP
Anner-"i can stop any time. i swear." Yes, but why would you want to?
I watched a whole hour-long show on National Geographic Channel (I think) the other day about OTTERS! I thought I'd just die when it ended.
Chocolate bunny eyes- do you all eat them first? I always did and now my kids do too.
They look like the perfect hand warmers. One for each pocket. Your hands get cold and you stick them into pockets full of furry goodness and otter nuzzles! :)
Martha - NEVER!
Hey cool! I live in Monterey! :D
I think I know why we all love em, they are a perfect cross of a dog and a cat,dontcha think?
Throw a little "duck" in that mix & I think you've got it covered.
I name one, Cute, and the other, Overload.
OTTERZOTTERZOTTERZOTTERZOTTERZ!
I just asploded ded. I lurves me some OTTERZ!!!! I just went ded again.
Me happy. Me ded but happy.
Smile.
It really makes me miss Monteray - where I spent some years as a little girl- I have fond memories of a restraunt on a ferry where you could take a seat and watch the otters fish. The best time was when the mamas had their babies, and they would put them on the kelp bed while they dove underneathe to fish. Then they would hold the babeh on their belly while they taught them to open oysters- sooo cute--
I don't remember anything else about the restraunt. :P
OMG!
*cutegasm*
I think the cuteness is a cure.
I've got a nasty repiratory infection, but the second I saw bebbeh otters
(ottersottersottersotters!!)
I feel better.
::poit::
There's an adorable sea otter hand puppet project (made from a brown paper lunch bag, of all things) at
http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/lc/activities/otter_puppet.asp
It _says_ "preK-3, ages 4-9", but I admit I downloaded the page of 'otter pieces', and will have to find my crayons this evening...
Being a 'responsible adult' is vastly overrated, anyway.
Hey it's that subset of "Baroo"-ness again, but without the furbrows. Cuteologists, I think there needs to be a caucus on subsets of Baroo.
These here are some otters
The most loved in our land
You can watch them swim and waddle
When you watch them on this cam:

(check this around 3-3:30P - it's their feeding time)
"we will kill you with cutenes and then eat you.. on our TUMMMEHS!"
Long time watcher, first time poster (LTWFTP). So, "hi" ever' body!
There's so much space between those teeny earsies that I just want to snorgle their smooth fur to my face. Too cute!
I just watched the video. *dies*
The second picture is so "We didn't do nothin'!" that it's killing me. Otters are such adorable, mischievous creatures. Who wouldn't love an otter?
Insert www.cuteotters.com plug!!!!
I would, but we *scooped* 'em. Hehehehehe.
(OK OK... here 'tis: http://www.cuteotters.com/ )
i'm in ur cute overload, ownin' ur rule 15.
Thanks Theo, just checked out the site. A friend and I went kayaking near Moss Landing and had lots of otters close by for company. It was so awesome!! OTTERS!
OTTERZ!
A pinnacle (but not pinniped) of Qte.
oh geez. baby otters (see Snowdrop:) are right up there with baby bears at the tippy top of my cute-o-meter. more baby bears, please!
(annoying spellchecker)
It's MonterEy. A beautiful locale, indeed. I think I've been to that aquarium. Oh, that I could visit again today! *sniff*

My birthday's Sunday, but you must have known that because you gave me otters! I love my present. Thanks!
