Whoa! They are so close to the camera... That lil guy is too curious. Precious nonetheless!
Do you call them babies, pups or cubs?

I usually go with pups, but I honestly have no clue what the proper terminology would be. I usually say that if it feels ottery to you, it's good enough for me!

It does seem very otters to me. But I think it's otters if you call them whatever you want, i'm not even sure there is a proper terminology

Otters are gonna be bold, no matter how small.

Fyi: Otter mums often leave their pups alone while they go hunt, so if you find a baby otter by itself in the wild it's probably not abandoned. Just wait a few hours and see if mommy returns.

Tiny baby otts need to grow up into big strong otts. Thats why they have to be good at learning and eating, learning fast and eating fast.

Some of them just skip it altogether and drink straight from the bowl. With interesting results.

HUMAN I MUST ABSORB THE NUTRIENTS
I remember reading that sea otter milk is around 20% fat, similar to other marine mammals.
This is very informative. Thanks, otternon!
Aren't they called Kits?
I've never heard them called that before.
Who dares to prevent the otter from imbibing the fluid of nutrition?

Imbibing is surviving. I hope the otter got his fill in the end.
baby otters are very good at learning about the world. After a few weeks they learn about solid food. Then they leave their den and learn about grass, water, trees and the sky. After that they learn how to swim n hunt. That's all they need to know really.
Growing and learning is how a baby otter becomes a adult otter. A very fascinating and positive process.
I'm so glad that the otter gets lots of milk to drink. Im sure his bones are gonna be strong.

Strong bones are vital for otters. Structured, stylish slinkiness.

I like my otters with milk and sugar
Otters are already sweet
Enjoy otters in moderation. Too much sugar is not healthy.

If there is something the world needs more of it's baby otters

The world could always use more otters, and all new otters are usually packaged initially as baby otters.
All otters are the babies of other otters which are the babies of other otters which are...
All otters of today are the result of a long chain of otters having babies all the way back to the original otter. A neat thing to think about.
No such thing as too much otters. The more otters the better is what I say!
The more, the otter.
The otterier, the merrier.

Baby otters drinking milk, the right way.

Momma otter's milk makes a happy baby otter.
Eurasian AND Asian Small Clawed Otter pups were born in my local zoo all within two weeks' time. One of the Eurasians is a little underweight but otherwise they're all healthy. Here's some videos of them
And the two Eurasian pups. They've been waiting forever for the otters to have offspring, this is really a cause to celebrate
Sadly, the underweight Eurasian pup didn't make it. The keepers did their best to take care of her, but she passed away two weeks after she was born.
It looks like her sibling will make it, at least. Gonna have to hope for the best and wait for her parents and the remaining cub to come out of the holt on their own.
Infant mortality is always sad, but this is why lots of animals have litters. I also hope the other one pulls through.

Baby sea otters bring so much floof into our world
It's incredible how such a small little thing turns into a real otter.

Found this on the news section, looks like we've got some new otters in Connecticut!
Awesome! I hope they'll thrive.
