I wasn’t sure if I’d get lucky but decided to head out on the river regardless. It was a beautiful, calm morning until I spotted this family - my heart started racing…
It turned out to be an unforgettable moment with this family.
Although it might seem tempting to “swim” with them, my underwater footage is always taken while I am in my kayak, not in the water with them.
These guys look playful and curious (which they are) but it can be dangerous to swim near otters. Their sharp teeth can cause severe injuries. Besides that, their behavior would be very different if they sensed a person in the water.
