Sharing cute and funny videos of animals

[NewtonsAdamsApple]

I like watching animals on youtube to relax. Luckily there are so so so many cute videos out there.
First video I wanna share is of my new favourite animal, the small-clawed otter! 
If you've seen the otters that roam in our parks and canals, you'll know how expressive and mischievous they can be. 

i juz realise there are soooo many youtube channels of pet otters!! i hope they are taking good care of the otters and not juz using them for youtube views..

Yup I worry about that too. Sometimes I'm wondering if I'm contributing to the increase in popularity of otters as youtube pets when I watch such channels.
Otters are very difficult pets to keep. They're socially demanding and require a lot of exercise, preferably a lot of swimming time.

As you can see from this video, they're also very good at opening all kinds of drawers and doors so that's another layer of challenge for people who own pet otters. Good thing we're not allowed to keep otters as pets in Singapore.

Waiting for the day when our local otters go into 7/11 to steal sandwiches.

Never owned a cat but I imagine this is what cat owners do every day.

I think that's very possible.  They have such nimble hands and can even work in groups.

For some reason, cats always end up with a pissed off face whenever their owners dress them up for photos.

Have many friends with pet cats. Can confirm they always look angry when dressed up in silly costumes.

Also, here's a otter wriggling around in slow mo.

Just a friendly reminder not to get too close to our local gangster otters.

Otter population up sharply but still manageable, say experts who urge public to learn to co-exist with them

• The otter population in Singapore has nearly doubled to 150 over the the past four years
  
• However, it is nothing to be concerned about yet, otter expert N Sivasothi said
  
• If the population grows further, there are natural ways to manage the animals without having to resort to culling, he added  
  
• Other environmental and animal welfare groups said that people, for their own safety, need to know how to respond when they see wildlife

Well I kinda guessed the sentiment for a need to cull the otter population will arise sooner or later. Sigh.  

Even though I love otters but I can understand why some people may see their growing numbers as an issue. Not just to their private property but to the local biodiversity too.

I shared Aty the otter's channel in the laughter thread a while ago. 
Wish to share the latest video from him. He falls asleep but gets awakened by thunder. Trust me, he's super cute in this one.

2:01 onwards for impatient viewers.

Hahaha that's very relatable. Reminds me of when I had to wake up for school at 6 am in the morning.
