I’m sending the mouthwash bill to Flea. Had they leaned over and kissed each other, I would have had to go to the E.R. from the pain of my body rejecting the surge of too-cuteness.

Fortunately otters are not just cute.

But some otters are not so nice.

There is no need to reject cute. Cute is to be loved. EMBRACE THE CUTE.
(First time I saw this video, I found myself almost literally burbling and cooing. And I was unashamed.)
Here this is needed to counteract that:

Then a 16 foot White Shark with mouth opened wide breached, swallowing the cute widdle otters whole.
^ agrees with Wally
One wonders how cute it would seem to the onlookers if the otters had both been male.
I still don’t have speakers on my computer, so I don’t know what, if anything, is playing in the background of the video. However, if you really wanted to make it sickeningly cute (emphasis on sickening), you could dub in a recording of “Muskrat Love”. (Yes, I know otters aren’t technically muskrats.) On second thought, that’s a disgusting idea; never mind.
Ha! Deal with it, you boring cynics! Cuteness exists, and will PREVAIL!!! BWwoooohahahahaahahah.
Wait a second: you have cats, pictures of which you sometimes share with us, and you had a “cuteness overdose?” You should have built up a very high tolerance by now.
It’s weird when you have a 3-and-a-half-year-old. Upon seeing this footage, normally I would scowl sharply, partly disgusted, partly alarmed — as if a man had just farted — but this video had no effect on me at all. I confess, if anything I found it sweet; look, people, I’m not proud to admit this.
Possibly, I’m so inundated by saccharine mediocrities (however hard I try to avoid them) that I’ve become inured.
There’s really no point in pretending to posess a thorny exterior, Amanda, after posting those YearlyKos vids.
I will continue to take you seriously, except for when you claim to be otterly resistant to videos like these.
Otters - the other white meat.
i “awwwed” out loud for so long straight it turned into a strange guttural sound and tears started welling up in my eyes out of joy.
so i stopped the video, cos im no sissy.
Dana, my cats express affection by licking each others’ assholes, not holding paws. Unless you think that’s cute….
I kind of do.
Primitive Earthlings, you anthropomorphize your caged animals. What you call “cute hand holding” is merely a survival mechanism, ensuring that if one is awakened by sensing a predator, the other will as well.
Otters have no emotion you call “love.” They are small, furry, killing machines. Little more than damp squirrels. Your adoration of them and their pseudo-opposable thumbs only makes it that much easier for them to do you all in.
What you call “cute hand holding” is merely a survival mechanism, ensuring that if one is awakened by sensing a predator, the other will as well.
And people aren’t really horny. What looks like horniness to the uninformed observer is the conscious and clinical desire to pass on one’s genes.
That said, I think that one otter totally grabbed the other’s hand to steer itself.
That was pretty cute but it was the incessant oohing and ahhing of the recorders that made me want to yak.
Otters = very entertaining.
jessilikewhoa, you have to watch it to the end, because that’s the cutest part. After they separate, when they start floating again the darker one grabs the other one’s paw AGAIN. Up until then I was wondering if they hadn’t just bumped into each other and didn’t know what to do about it.
AAAAAAWWWWWWWW. Rimmer cats

Amanda, do you have a set of these?
I can’t quite recall who first said it (maybe Mark Twain?), but I totally agree that, if reincarnation really existed, and I could choose what creature to return as, it would most definitely be an otter. . . have you ever seen these things sliding down a mudbank, or just swimming around in what certainly seems to be complete joy? Full-on awesome: these guys know how to have fun.
I dint know they held hands
And I agree the clip is much better without the sound.
Hmmm…sea otter pelts used to get you a pretty penny in Canton.
Amanda, I think that falls into the TMI category.
I have the joy of seeing those two otters every week.
That’s Milo and Nyac, a young male and an older female. There’s an even younger female, Tanu, and when they’re all sleeping and holding onto each other, it is the ULTIMATE CUTE.
Panda’s Thumb has some cute too.
