The cutest thing I ever saw

Wow, how adorable!!!  That being said, it makes me a little sad to see.  Where is that?  Doesn't seem like a rehab for wildlife.  They wouldn't be accustoming it to humans like that, if it was.  I hope they aren't raising baby otters to be pets for people!  ???

This is what I was able to find out about the baby otter:

"Capers was just two weeks old when he was spotted alone in Kachemak Bay on May 29. His mother was found deceased nearby of unknown causes. He was immediately taken to the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward where he was cared for by rehabilitation staff. He was transferred to the Shedd Aquarium on June 30 and will spend the summer there being cared for by aquarium staff. At this time, Capers is inquisitive, healthy, playful, and eating well. Minnesota Zoo staff members will work with the pup at the Shedd Aquarium closer to his transfer date to Minnesota, where he will eventually live in the Zoo’s new exhibit, Russia’s Grizzly Coast, set to open in 2008."

I read the thread after I watched the video.  It makes more sense now.  It seemed they were having a lot of contact with a rescue if it was going to be released - but it'd be really hard not to want to play with him!
