Sea Otter, CaliforniaWhen I was doing a lot of commercial production in LA, I would always build in a few days to travel up (or down) the California coast in search of all things wild. Sea otters were usually involved. I caught up with this sea otter fairly early in the morning. It was still on land, likely where it slept the night before. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 260mm) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/1250th of a second.
