It's a baby-ish otter. (4-6 months old, maybe?) I just read an article about it yesterday or the day before. I apparently didn't retain much knowledge from the article. Just that they are preparing the baby otter to go on display at some zoo and trying to get him acclimated and suchlike.
The mom otter died or otherwise disappeared. They had to raise him and I know he got to stay overnight with zoo employees at home.
How awesome would that be - to be able to say, "I can't go out. I have to watch the baby otter."
