Endangered sea otter photographed floating down a river with its pup
IF you are having a bad day or just want something to smile about, check out these cute pictures of a sea otter and her pup floating down the river.
HEARTWARMING images have surfaced of young sea otter lying on its mothers belly as the pair floated down a river in Monterey, California.
The photographs, taken by 53-year-old Geraldine Davies, show the mum affectionately washing and cuddling her pup.
“I live on a sail boat with my husband and we were out in Monterey Harbour on our dingy when we came across this mother and her pup resting under the boardwalk,” she said.
“We watched her every day for about three weeks and eventually she was quite comfortable with us being so close.
“It was a very special experience, especially as she had a pup.”
Sea otters are now classified as an endangered species following their numbers rapidly decreasing as a result of being hunted for their fur.
