Holding hands, asleep! How cute is that!?
A pile of baby sea otters-sleeping.
Cute
Still holding hands; they are just that cute.Ok, I need a wee dose of adorable..so I came upon a cute-as-cute picture of sea otters. However, these all too cute mammals are also a threatened species, and the evilness that is the BP disastor, has caused and will contine to cause many otters and other sea faring beings as well as birds to become endangered. As well, obvioulsly many beings died slow, painful deaths.
I found an article, above, about the threatened sea otters. The article incorrectly has them listed as "extinct", which is not the case. Clearly the writer doesn't understand the meaning of the word. However, they are endangered and were at one point on the brink of extinction. Also on the list of animals on the endangered list, which was a shock to me, Atlantic salmon.

It's sad and awful. Humans always take advantage of the earth and the beings who live gently on it.
