As promised, here’s another sea otter mom with pup. This time from a considerably lower angle. This little pup kept venturing out its own, but never got far before mom pulled it back in. When wet, it’s sometimes hard to distinguish where one otter ends and the other begins. Their thick coats just sort of blend together.

Super nice, Sean!
Thanks Sue.
Great expressions and catchlight in both eyes!
Thanks Rick. Nice when they line up on the same focal plane.

Miss the the Friday frog but love what you have been posting, excited to see you at Mom’s the end of the month. Now give me a good Tarsier and frog!!
I’ll see what I can do Mo about a few more frogs and tarsiers. And yes, looking forward to Bonita.
So glad I didn’t have to carry my brood that way. That’s quite a hold mom has on pup. Wonderful capture, Sean!
Although I do remember being grabbed by the scruff while floating away on a high tide at Green Head beach.
Always love the Momma & Babies shots
Mother Nature teaches us best
& you seem to catch that emotion

Thanks Aunt Sue. Always a bonus to get the mom/baby shots.
Now that really looks like a protective hug! Adorable!
Thanks Rachel. Yes, the mom was really clinging to the youngster in a very protective way.
You can never post too many sea otters for me, especially with their babies. This is adorable.
