A few days ago, I watched an interesting animal video and realized that sea otters are not only cute, but also very smart.

On the coast of California, there is a long strip of aquatic plants. A group of cute sea otters live in this water. They are very close to human docks, but always keep a distance from humans. .

They should be completely afraid of humans. Many years ago, they were almost killed by humans because of their fur. In recent years, thanks to the efforts of the World Animal Protection Organization, the number of sea otters has begun to slowly rebound. However, the fear of humans may have already penetrated into their bones.

In these waters in California, sea otters and humans have coexisted peacefully for many years. In the pier, human ships were busy coming in and out; outside the pier, sea otters with small eyes, small mouths and big noses lay lazily on the water, basking in the sun, eating and playing. An invisible boundary separates the two parties so that they do not disturb each other.

Finally, one day, a female sea otter and her baby crossed the invisible boundary and swam into the human realm.

The female sea otter is very cautious. At first, she only occasionally enters the dock to look for food with her baby, and then quickly exits. After a few days, the sea otter mother and her baby spent more time foraging in the dock.

This female sea otter appears to be smart enough to recognize good intentions in people. They spent more and more time in the dock, and eventually settled down. It chose kind-hearted Jack and built a nest for himself and his baby at the back end of his dock.

Just after landing on land from the water, the mother sea otter still follows her previous habit of always looking for ropes everywhere, and then wrapping her baby and herself with thick ropes. Because in the water, they only use long aquatic plants to anchor themselves in order to avoid being washed away by the sea water.

After a few days, the mother sea otter stopped tying the rope, seeing that it was unnecessary.

After settling into Jack's boathouse, mother sea otter begins to relax. Sea otter babies are born unable to swim, which requires the mother to hold the baby in her arms at all times, which is very physically demanding. After settling on the dock, the sea otter mother slowly adjusted her parenting style. She began to put the fluffy meat dumpling next to her instead of holding her. Mother and son often lay side by side on the dock to bask in the sun, which was very relaxing and comfortable.

Shellfish are a delicacy for sea otters, and each sea otter will use hard rocks to crack open shells to enjoy a feast. The sea otter mother who entered human territory soon discovered something more useful than rocks, that is, steel ships made by humans.

The sound of knocking began to echo in Jack's boat dock. The mother sea otter held up the shell and knocked it attentively on Jack's bow, because she quickly found the hardest part of the hull. this part.

The bow began to leave traces of knocking, one pit after another, and the paint was mixed in some places. The sea otter's mother must have also discovered this problem, so every time Jack was there, the sea otter Mom would knock gently, and every time she knocked twice, she would look back at Jack, for fear that Jack would go crazy.

The baby sea otter is growing up rapidly day by day. Jack sees his mother starting to teach him how to swim. Soon after, the baby sea otter can move independently from his mother. After that, the baby sea otter starts to look for food. , also began to knock shells.

However, it is obvious that it does not want to listen to its mother's nagging and likes to explore on its own. Its short arms held up the delicious shells and banged them on the damp wood, on the soft foam wrapped around the fishing net, and even tried the iron chain pulling the anchor before trying it, my mother said. the bow of the ship. Just like us human naughty children, we like to explore on our own.

I have seen videos about sea otters before, but I just thought they looked very cute. In this video, I found that they are also very smart and cute.
