I love how she holds her baby the same way that a human mother would; it's just so precious! ^__^

Raining, on a rock, giving birth. Moms are hardcore.

Mama cleans baby People clap Mama looks at people "Quiet, if you please!"

Mom and doctor all rolled into one fuzzy mammal. Did not know they can pull their own babies out.😳 👏

What an amazing privilege. I think it speaks to the care the Monterey Bay Aquarium takes of its surroundings that this Otter mum felt safest right here, close to the deadliest predator in the world

I love how even through the pain the hug is there from the beginning. Such maternal love

She hears the people talking and wonders why they won’t give her some privacy. What a darling baby. Congratulations momma.

People present on the site should show respect for the otter. If they observe they should do it in silence do not disturb the moment. I'm sorry for my bad english
