“Most sea otter mothers are quite shy with their babies, but this mother was very habituated to people and she was very relaxed as she lovingly raised her pup in a busy harbor,” Eszterhas told MailOnline. “Sometimes, she swam right up to the dock and left her pup floating on the water’s surface right in front of me while she foraged for food.”
Even though she’s been observing otters for a long time, Eszterhas was so іmргeѕѕed by this moment!
“This [the moment] made me feel like a babysitter,” she said. “It was adorable and it also really showed how ⱱᴜɩпeгаЬɩe and trusting wіɩd animals can be!”
