   Huge fan of Veronica!

   Okay . . . is Emmet Otter in there somewhere? And the jugband? Anybody else remember Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas?

   Monterey Bay Aquarium has 2 live webcams- one for their sea otters, one for the fresh water otters- from 7am-7pm PT.

   There used to be this cool amphibious bus tour in Monterey that took you really close to the otters, playing out under the piers. Otters truly may be the cutest animals on the earth.

   And when we got back, we adopted a Sea Otter from the WWF:

   I adore otters. Have you seen Planet Earth? There’s a part where a group of them literally SCARES OFF a ginormous crocodile. http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/planet-earth-freshwater-otter-gang.html

   As a kid, the first place I’d run to upon entering the Zoo was the Otters!

   Love otters too and I’ve been fortunate enough to see river otters in the wild on a couple of occations. Let me just say, cute as they are, you don’t want to get them mad.

    Absolutely. Have loved them since I saw “Pool of Bright Water” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Bright_Water). Am planning to come back as one.

    How can you not love otters? Check out those fuzzy faces and whiskers!

    I remember being at the beach when I was like 10 and having an otter swim on shore and come right up to me. Coolest thing ever!

    Really nice. I just saw some river otters about a week ago while tubing down Putah Creek, really cool.

    And to the person that mention Emmet Otter, OH MY GOD, YES! I found it on dvd and HAD to purchase it

    My girlfriend made us full otter costumes last year! You sound like someone who could appreciate that and not make furry jokes all night.

    This year she may turn them into Tanooki Mario outfits, or not, as they deserve a stateside debut.
