Otters and Birds at Sea Lions at the Breakwater

Our juvenile sea otter friend was hard at work prying muscles off the rocks along the jetty.
Chowing down!
LOOK AT THAT CUTE LITTLE TONGUE!
He really goes to town in the middle of the surf!
It’s pretty rare to see otters feeding so up close.
“Do you have snacks for me?”
“No, I don’t have snacks for you.”

Another day, a bunch more cute otters down at the breakwater in Monterey! These two moms and pups were hanging out in the kelp.
Just look how cute they are!
