In the latest cute video care of the Seattle Aquarium, the gang's all here: the now month-old female otter pup, mom Aniak, and dad Lootas. Because who wouldn't want to laze about in a kiddie pool full of ice?

So head to the Aquarium to catch the pup while she's still fluffy. Otters typically begin to shed their fluffy pup fur at about six weeks--and by ten weeks her coat will like an adult's. The upside of losing all that fluff? Then the pup will be able to dive, which means plenty of swimming lessons from her mama. And just in time! Otters learn to open shellfish (by biting or pounding shells together on their chests) when they're about three months old.
