Kidnapped Baby Otters Were Neglected But They’ve Been Saved and Get Freedom and Food For First Time

It is truly a tragic reality, that in so many places throughout the world, poachers hunt wild animals in order to illegally sell them to people wanting exotic pets. It is common for babies to be kidnapped; they often go into shock, suffer from hunger and dehydration, and die before being sold. It is horrible that so many animals are taken and kidnapped from their natural habitat and frequently taken from their mothers before they are developmentally ready. This is just so heartbreaking especially when you see how adorable, sweet and innocent these itty bitty baby otters.
Thanks to the many animal-lover/advocates, like TV host Frank Cuesta, whom you will see in the video below, many animals get rescued and returned to the wild. Cuesta resides in Thailand, where he hosts a show that has been compared to Steve Irwin. He explores, helps, studies and rescues wildlife just as the late great legend Steve Irwin did.
Cuesta is the hero of this story of a rescue of two baby otters, after he was tipped off as to their location, before they could be sold on the black market. He headed to the location and somehow managed to save them and get them away from the bad people who wanted to harm these poor sweet fur babies.
Having studied veterinary medicine, Cuesta knows that these orphaned otter pups not only have to have limited human exposure, but actually need to be trained to be afraid of people before being reintroduced into the wild. This is necessary for their safety and for sustaining the otter population. Luckily Cuesta knows exactly what to do and these babies should soon be back in the wild and their natural habitat.
Unless you speak Spanish you won’t understand exactly what Cuesta is tenderly saying to the pups he has saved, but you will get the gist of it. Hearing the darling babies squeaking as they are finally fed, is simply joyful, as is the fact that they will safely be returned to the wild. The sounds of pure happiness emanating from their adorable little faces made my heart melt into a million pieces. Have you ever heard a sound so adorable in your life? Let us know in the comments

He Was Feeling Something Strange Grab His Leg. He Looked Down and Saw THIS The UNTHINKABLE!

A couple lucky tourists visiting the beach and sea had an awesome fortunate and surprising experience with an amazing wild sea otter on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada! The once in a lifetime chance rendezvous happened in the seas of Cadboro Bay on the southern tip of the island near the province’s capitol, Victoria, Canada.
The beach was pretty much empty except for a couple people who were happily snapping away, taking pictures of the beautiful picturesque bay, and filming some videos when a sea otter swam into view! Beachgoers naturally started filming the cute little sea mammal as he played around near the shore in his natural habitat.
Thankfully they did because they caught the moment when the curious otter decided to make friends with a man who was wading in the shallow, chilly Pacific waters nearby. The sea otter suddenly swam right up to him without any hesitation whatsoever and began to check him out up close and personal.
The adorable otter swam all around the guy, weaving in and around his lower legs and ankles. Before long he even appeared to be nuzzling the man, who reached down and gave the little guy a couple of friendly pats on the back.
The friendly mammal looked like he was loving the attention and acts just like an excited puppy dog would, he even gently nipped at the man’s leg as they played in the water. The whole encounter lasted just a few minutes before the otter decided he’d had enough and headed back out to sea.
Nevertheless, the brief time that the man and otter shared together definitely left a lasting impression on everyone who was there at the beach that day. The remarkably friendly otter was truly a sweetheart and what an amazing experience it must have been for everyone involved!

He Slowly Approaches This Frozen Hole At The Lake. What Pops Out Is So UNEXPECTED
As I scan the internet I am always particularly touched by videos that exhibit unlikely bonds between animals of different species. Although it seems to occur quite often, it never ceases to amaze me, that a horse and a chicken, an elephant and a kitten or a dog and a monkey form a protective and nurturing relationship.
In a world where there is so much violence, it somehow makes me more hopeful that perhaps there is something intrinsically good and loving in human beings, that may ultimately outweigh our competitive and destructive instincts…one can hope.
The video that you are about to watch below, is yet another instance of unlikely trust betweenan elderly Finnish man, Seppo Laaman, and an animal that lives in a hole surrounded by snow and ice near his home.
This lovely man opened his front door one day, to find this starving wild otter whom he nicknamed “Iivari”, needing help. He fed him fish and worms to restore him to a healthy enough condition to go back and live in his natural environment in the wild.
As you watch this heartwarming footage of their trusting relationship, understand that this smart little otter is not Seppo’s pet. They have an understanding, as you will see them communicate, that is mutual and has boundaries that are free.

This Guy Was Feeling Something Grab His Leg. He Looked Down and Saw THIS

This Extremely Shy Otter Gets Groomed. When They Zoom In It’s Priceless!
The battle for the cutest animal throne rages eternally. It is impossible to quantify the near infinite cuteness of the baby animal kingdom, although some common contenders such as kittens, puppies and baby pandas consistently battle for top spots. As cute as they are, they are up against some stiff competition. Hedgehogs, elephants, penguins, sloths, kangaroos and harp seals all exhibit formidable cuteness.
In this aaahhhh inspiring video, this baby sea otter presents a strong case for top baby animal cuteness contender. Those little whiskers and wide eyes make for a compelling argument. This is one baby animal that is quickly winning my vote!
Sea otters, the largest member of the weasel family, can reach almost 100 pounds. Their fur is the densest of all animals and keeps them warm in the cold ocean waters they inhabit. They are very intelligent, and their use of rocks to break mollusk shells places them in an exclusive group of tool wielding mammals.

Whenever These Baby Otters Spot Their Favorite Human They Proceed To Make The Most Hysterical Sound.

Young animals are easy to love. They’re so full of innocence and are often downright adorable, no matter what they may be up to. The otter pups in this clip are no exception to the cute baby animal rule, they will make you smile and fall in love with them!
The adorable youngsters can all be seen lining up excitedly at the fence in anticipation of their favorite zookeepers arrival. That’s why they are making those cute, silly sounding noises, because they’ve just spotted their caretaker headed their way. This causes the group to erupt in chorus of delighted squeaks and squeals that all sound very similar to the noises a squeaky toy makes!
They look so sweet as they poke their noses through the wire enclosure and rest their funny looking hands on the fence. However, it’s those funny sounds that they make which sets them apart from other baby animals and makes them so cool.
According to reefovid’s channel, which posted the short clip on YouTube, the otter pups all live at the Otter and Owl Sanctuary at the New Forest Wildlife Park in Ashurst, England. The park is home to a wide variety of animals, including wolves, bison, ferrets, hedgehogs, deer, and of course lots of different types of owls and otters.
When it comes to otter behavior, they are known for being extremely social animals who absolutely love playing and messing around with each another. They are also incredibly curious and will readily go off to explore and investigate new things that may pique their interest. When they are pups they spend all their time in groups made up of mothers and their babies, away from any adult males, for at least several years. As such, they tend to live in large groups which are often very complex in the way that they are socially structured.
Check out the little pups to hear how funny they truly sound. Maybe you’ll even learn something new from this video like I did, because I never knew otters made these types of noises!
