A Romp of Otters

Did you know that a group of otters are apparently called a "romp"? Me neither. As of November 2, 2006 a Google search revealed there was at least 210 occurrences of this phrase but that the Oxford English Dictionary does not recognized it?

Did you also know that the Northern River Otter was also one of the major animals hunted/trapped for their furs during the North American Fur trade of the 1800's? Yup, the fur trade was not just about beavers my friends...sad but true.

Seriously, how super cute are these two?

I think that picture is super cute! Did it come from www.cuteotters.com ? If you haven't visited that site you should. There is even a video of baby otters learning how to swim (it's in the nov. 17 post).
