Sea Otter visit

Skittish

Here is short MPG where grooming -- I'll compose/ splice  better later 

 

  Later in day

Tries to ‘haul out’ with seal pups – but rejected and can’t pull self ashore

 

Maybe its his toiletry – goes over and grooms itself ‘in a sulk’

 

Eventually leaves – rejected

 

A couple years ago ‘everyone’ was in awe of a sea otter – now it is old hat that even the pups can’t be bothered

 

Unimpressed

Here is MPG 1.8megs of futile  attempts to 'haul out'

The adults don’t even look at the otter 

I'll make videofile  of these attempts later

 

 Yearlings or new born??

I thought the smallest ones  were this years; but literature says not born here until June -- implications even smallest are yearlings
