California Sea Otter!
A Spectacular Creature of the Sea!
The California Sea Otter - This wonderful little creature is a pleasure to behold. Every time we see an otter in the Morro Bay, California habor it is a special event.
My wife and I love to walk along the embarcadero searching for the playful otters. It is like they are waiting to show off their skills of floating on their backs.
When we spot a Sea Otter my wife and I always love and cherish the moment. It is weird how they make you feel. It is as if they transmit a sense of relaxation. I don't know, maybe we are weird but it is a soft feeling you get when you get to see an otter in the bay.
I don't want to bore you with facts about the otter because you can type in a search for otters and get all the information you desire. What I want to do is let you know how it makes a person feel when they observe this special little creature in the wild.
The otter reminds me of a cute little puppy. They seem so playful and unaware there is a cruel world within their reach. It is a fact the numbers of sea otters is falling due to unknown causes. I am not sure if they are endangered but I wouldn't doubt it if they were.
The The picture at the top of the page was taken as we were riding out on a whale watching adventure. The shot was taken from about 1/2 mile away and it is not too clear but you can see how laid back the California Sea Otter is its natural environment.
The picture in the middle was a family of otters playing together.
