This is a local otter, in the Tacoma, and I HAVE SEEN IT.
It may even be the same otter I shot (with the Nikon of Infinite Beauty). That photo got picked up by the world’s greatest collection of otter photos, maybe because it’s the only place on the web that obsesses about cute photographs of otters.
Here’s my photo.
Yes, this is perhaps the same genius otter who stacks cups, or possibly his cousin, Harry, who’ll never stack cups and will stick to busting oysters and breaking hearts. Photo by Guy Bergstrom.
And here’s the blog of otters, otters and, for variety, more otters.
Why a blog devoted entirely to photos of otters? Three reasons: (1) why not? (2) no animal is cuter than an otter and (3) you can’t spell awesomesauce without “aw.”

So gorgeous! Love your picture too – it looks rather fluffy and freshly bathed.
Been lucky enough to see them in the wild a couple of times. Once off the Monterey Peninsula, and once in Scotland. had to walk over 10 miles of peat bog in Scotland to find them, but it was well worth it.
Otters rock. If I had a moat…
Yep, probably some of the cutest things on the planet!!
So cute. I love your “aw”-tter pic.
