Who knew otters were so skilled with their hand-eye coordination?
He may not be Cristiano Ronaldo, but he can certainly juggle. The otter that recently appeared in a Youtube video coutesy Alice Angus, has been entertaining zoo patrons recently. This is because he knows how to juggle rocks and is quite the little show-off.
The behavior is very common for otters, who commonly lay on the backs in the water and eat food off their stomachs (much like I do while watching TV). As a result, they develop skilled hand-eye coordination and get quite good at preventing that snack from slipping into the water. This otter is one performer that beats all “otter” clowns.
He also knows how to turn heads.
Otters are funny, little critters.
According to Daily Mail, otters grow to be the ripe age of 16-years-old and often mate for life. They’re faithful to their partners in the cutest ways possible. Not only do they stay together forever (or at least for their short 16-year life), they even hold hands with their mate while they sleep. This is to prevent them from floating away from each other and losing their partner as they drift through the water and the tides of life.
If that doesn’t warm your heart then this video certainly will:
