"Sidney the baby otter playing. Sidney is not a pet. I am a professional animal caretaker and work at a marine park. Otters do not make good pets and are illegal to own personally."
So we bring zoo animals home with us?

I've been on one of those (the plane, not the furry thing).
Otters don't make good pets, especially marine otters. Marine otters are fucking mean ass little creatures. And that's if you consider a German Sheppard sized mammal with a classically bad attitude "little."

No. No you don't. You really really don't. They stink, they're vicious, and they are louder than a modified Harley (assuming it runs).
I have encountered them outside a marine park; stay away from them!

I actually swam with some in Monteray Bay when my girlfriend and I were skinny-dipping. Cute little buggers, but they DO get pretty big...and have nasty, sharp, pointy teeth!

Okay. I think I may have been confusing marine otters with sea lions on the "loud" bit. My bad. Nonetheless, otters are still quite vicious and, Ames, good on you for swimming with them! Would not get me in the water knowing they're there ...

Yeah, the video reminded me immensely of ferrets, a.k.a. Drunken Wiener Monkeys.

Reminds me of when I saw Ring of Bright Water on the telly as a little kid. Fell in love with otters through that film and cried my eyes out at the end.
Such a sensitive little lad, I was.

There are often otters in the surf in Santa Cruz and Pacifica. They mostly ain't so bad if you leave 'em a lone and don't try to get up close and personal.
The males do this thing where they will kidnap a female's offspring, and hold them for ransom until she brings him food.
Cute little buggers.
(But hell yeah, they're adorable as babies. That IS a cute video.)
I know nothing of the habits of river otters, just a few basic phenotypical differences. Maybe river otters are nice and cuddly.

Pet otter babies is a brilliant idea. Once they get big dangerous as house pets, you can just skin them!
Seriously, what could possibly go wrong with domesticated wild animals?

Plan ahead and before they get too big.....flush them.
They can battle the alligators that live down there.

Don't you mean the other way round? Or do you hate cute cats?

I've handled hamsters, mice, rats, and a couple of beaky parrots with NO problem but, as cute and comical as ferrets are, the second their owners let them out of the cage I end up standing on top of a chair screaming "put it back!"
Couldn't say why, but those goofy fuckers freak me out.

Sure the little fucker is cute, but if he thinks he's going to win the talent contest with that routine he's in for a surprise.
