A sea otter appears to wave, on the beach at Elkhorn Slough, Moss Landing, California.

This was another of the sea otters that I recently photographed at Elkhorn Slough in California. As I mentioned before, it’s rare to get them on land like this. I kind of liked the sequence here, as the otter appears to be pretty happy about something.
