Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) pup learning to use its legs, feet and flippers--kind of learning some coordination. Within a few days it will be learning to hold food with its front paws (drops alot at first) and to swim about (now it mostly floats on back). Note: the white reflecting in the water is snow on the far mountainsides.
