I AM DEAD. I CEASE TO BE ALIVE. I HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO THE CUTENESS.

Check out Pup 696 from the Monterey Bay Aquarium baby otter foster program taking a spin around the tub! 

Orphaned pups are matched with foster mothers so they can be taught the necessary skills to survive in the wild. Otter pups are highly dependent on their mothers, who need to regularly fluff the pup’s dense fur to keep them warm, and show them how to hunt and break open different kinds of shellfish.

Great shot by the BBC Earth team here at #BigBlueLive!
