The Little Book of Otter Philosophy

Otters are some of the most delightful animals on the planet.

These long, lean, furry creatures embody pure joy in so many ways – they live for napping, playing, making friends and eating, and forget about the rest. Pretty inspiring, right?

In a world that can often seem divided, lonely, and just plain cruel, the otter reminds us of what’s important in life.

What other animal:
• Holds hands with their friends whilst napping so they don’t float away?
• Communicates in a flurry of whistles, chirps, chuckles, clicks and coos?
• Builds a waterslide on a daily basis?
• Befriends other species, just because?
• Eats food off their tummy while floating peacefully with their pals?

These intelligent, adorable, water-dwelling mammals have a lot to teach us about the way we live. So, kick back, grab a pal, dive in and reconnect with your playful side, just like you otter!
