EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of a sea otter pup's early development as it learns to use its legs, feet, and flippers for coordination in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of North America. The pup, a member of the Northern Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) population in Prince William Sound, Alaska, is on the brink of new milestones. In just a few short days, it will begin to hold food with its front paws, dropping it occasionally at first, and start to swim about, transitioning from mostly floating on its back. Sea otters are remarkable marine mammals known for their playful behavior and exceptional dexterity. Their agility and ability to manipulate objects with their paws are crucial for their survival in the marine environment. This pup's progress is a testament to their innate abilities and the resilience of the Northern Sea Otter population. Tom and Pat Leeson, renowned wildlife photographers, captured this intimate moment, providing a rare glimpse into the life of these fascinating creatures. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving their habitat and ensuring their continued existence.
