An otter eating a fat innkeeper worm

We saw a sea otter eating a fat innkeeper worm today at Breakwater. We’ve seen them digging underwater for the worm before but this is the first time that we’ve seen them eating one.

Our little buddy sea otter who is always along the jetty.

So cute!
Big stretch! There are some good ribs there!
