Don’t put this on Larry. She could have dropped the kid off with him before she went galavanting around town. What mom did in this video is the equivalent of a human mom leaving her kid unsupervised in a freezing cold car; Larry didn’t make her do that.
@@LungoScrungo Not much because they can't swim at all, they float. They don't know how to tend to their fur yet at this age and it's so dense that it makes them stay afloat.
I think the baby otter left the ice because he saw the fake otter and thought it was the mom. You can clearly see it at 1:43 and 1:58 , then realized it wasn’t the mom at 2:00 so it’s kind of BBCs fault lol
I thought the same thing, just like the “baby monkey” camera... when it fell out the tree all the monkeys thought it had died and they were grieving for it
@@jediwarlock1 They do (they have lots of disguises), but watch the show and you'll understand. Otters are very hard to film. They film them year round so floating ice wouldn't make sense when there is no ice. They have decoy animals with cameras so they can be blend in wherever they go. They have an even more amazing video that is nuts, as the male otter violently kidnaps the baby from the mom when she rejects his advances.
@@dalinelababit2615 it may not have mistaken it for the mother, but it clearly went to go check out the fake one. Even if it wasn't confused as to whether or not it was the mother, it still came down to the camera getting too close and ultimately interfering
Not really. Otters don’t have a lot of excess fat like a seal does, so they only rely on their thick fur, having to groom their coat at least 3 hours per day to keep warm in even 60 degree waters
Just for a moment there, I thought it was lost, meaning dead! The title gave me the impression it would die... But I'm so glad for the happy ending! Uffff!
Love the intensity story as it unfolds, but as you are watching it your heart is falling to pieces you can feel the aching crush. You want to drive in, and save that little guy quickly! Your shoulders soften mom hears his cry from a distance running to his rescue!
OMG!!! I was prepared for heartbreak when the title said "loses cub" I literally thought OMG mama otter will lose her baby but such a relief that mama otter found her baby in the end.
OMG!!! First after reading the video title I thought that the kid died in freezing water but at last when I saw her mom found her I was so happy like never in my life...
i can't fathom what heart reckoning moment the cameraman had to go through while filming this... thanks for the great capture cameraman guy, you could've helped her you know and we also would've lost the opportunity to witness this...
The whole time I was thinking "y'all better not let that baby freeze because you're trying not to interfere with nature". Alas the baby was found by mummy, I can sleep in peace.
That tiny little cry was so heartbreaking! Good job coming back to get your little guy, mama.
It can’t understand you
Carnagekiller 215 “Good coming back to get your little guy, mama.” I add a comma if you didn’t noticed.
woah i was your 1000th like it’s a pleasure lol
I swear I had to pause in between cause I wasn't ready if the mum didn't find him.....the comment helped move forward ❤️
Thanks for ruining the video for me asshole
Mother frantically searches for lost cub while Larry takes a nap on the shore. Don’t be a Larry.
Living like Larry
Spur-of-the-Mountain living like larry
Don’t know why this comment made me laugh

Nah Mon. Larry knows da wae. No wife. No kid. No problem.
Not gonna lie, the title had me worried.
Jonathan G. I was dissapointed the cub wasn’t lost.
@@epicon6 he was actually lost, but the mother found him
Jonathan G. There are much bigger problems to worry about than some otters no matter how cute they are.
lost as in die , loses cub (cub dies) that is why was implied @@cristobalcaro3392
Me too😂 makes me wonder why I even clicked

They couldnt make a fake camera that looked like ice? Baby's like "f* this dead otter floating near me."
For real though. What if (God forbid) the poor thing thought it was his dead mother?
@@LungoScrungo Not much because they can't swim at all, they float. They don't know how to tend to their fur yet at this age and it's so dense that it makes them stay afloat.
I went straight down to the comment section to see if it was safe to watch for my overly reactive period.
I did the same!! Very carefully.

Nah, I don't think the baby otter thought it was the mom. I thought the baby otter was just curious.
He was curious and it's not BBC's fault the otter is stupid enough to think it's it's mother.
BBC isn't supposed to interfere with the wildlife. They can only observe.
They could have made it look like a rock snd not an otter!
I thought the same thing, just like the “baby monkey” camera... when it fell out the tree all the monkeys thought it had died and they were grieving for it
I WAS HOLDING MY BREATH WHOLE TIME FOR THAT POOR BABY OTTER. Thank God she found her baby in time!
IM ONLY 30, BBC. STOP GIVING ME HEART PROBLEMS!!😭
Lol

@@Mscape7 Yes I appreciate when somebody corrects me. So, I thank you.
@@yoy58913 Very nice! Great job along with the user helping with the correction
I was about to cry. I'm so glad the mother found her little one!
I think that pup almost died because of the BBC fake otter cam that the pup were confused by.
I mean, why not use a fake floating ice as cam instead?
@@jediwarlock1 Or why not just make it look like a camera
Ohhhhhhh shocks

Shoutout to all the mother out there that out their children’s need before them. No thank you will ever be enough.
it's because of the camera that resembles the otter....must have thought it was its mother...that's why it jumped in the water .....
Not really because they recognise each other’s scent so no
@@dalinelababit2615 it is still a baby remember
@Afřìćá ìš Ã čòñťìñêñť even though it’s a baby still has a sense of smell

Tough environment but at least they're tough & well adapted animals

When you get lost in the grocery store and can’t find your mom
otters are the cutest without a doubt.
Just for a moment there, I thought it was lost, meaning dead! The title gave me the impression it would die... But I'm so glad for the happy ending! Uffff!
It was so intense... great job mama otter. Thx bbc for this quality movie

Im so happy he survived
Ottermom: Help! I can't find my child!
Cameraman: Nice
Chuwi Kitten I know, I think there are some situations where it would be alright to intervene :(
Lol pretty much
Otters on shore: Hmm? Food?
what a lovely hug!
Amazing footage when the mother pops up and sees her pup and then dives back under to swim up to him or her!
That Accentttttt 💖💖💖💖
Just SO glad mom found her baby!!
So, cute.🥰
Didn't I tell you to stay right there and I'd be right back? I almost had a heart att.... omg You're so grounded!!!!
Geez the music really got me.
OMG!!! I was prepared for heartbreak when the title said "loses cub" I literally thought OMG mama otter will lose her baby but such a relief that mama otter found her baby in the end.
Do you realize how cringeworthy your typespeak is 🤮
I got scared by the end. Thank goodness!
A 4 minute video that had my heart pounding, and hanging onto the edge of my seat. 😱😰
So glad she eventually found her baby..
God please save this entire species. not just they're adorable but I see that they're one the most loving and caring creature
Atmospheric music and all!
Is this the trailer for "Titanic: Otter Edition" ?
With a nicer ending
my gawd those otter babies are precious...good otter mom
BBC Earth, you can be really scary at times, especially when dealing with cubs. Don't do that again. :(
3:29 moment of relief ☺😌
Im freezing just watching the video...
Im in Miami
Proud Michigander
Same and I’m in Australia. But then again it is winter here lol
😂😂😂
I'm in the canary islands (near Africa) Spain
Protect otters
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
AND FINDS, loses AND FINDS, don’t TOY WITH ME LIKE THAT-
I waisted a heartache and a tear for nothing?! Thank you BBC.
Just BBC playing with my emotions again 😭
Otter is now one of my fav animals. They are really cute and sweet. Always love them.❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙
Aww what a good & courageous mother otter! She loves her baby!💖💖
You finaly made me cry. I hope you're happy.
When he said "eeeee" I felt that.
I’m going through a lot right now in my life but this video honestly made me smile. Thanks
Stop playing with my emotions BBC
Dear BBC thank you for all your heartbreaking videos
thats so sad, they are so cute.. I was relieved to see the baby saved but it reminds me how unfair and cruel nature can be. great camera footage!
This was so beautiful. The scenery, the videography, the wildlife.
The best part was, of course, Mummy Otter finding Junior.
I like how the pup cries for help when it realizes there is no other option just like us humans
How dare you scare me like that and make me cry
🙏
Really tears came out from eyes
So heart warming.
Mom finds its child.
😌😌
The voice of the Doctor!!
#My heart beat almost stop... #Thank god she found her baby.
Thank God
This is why mothers are more valuable in your life than anyone else
This otter needs hotter water.
Heh heh
So glad his mummy found him ! ❤️
I feel like alot of these videos seems like the small animals are just curious and go towards the person filming.
Especially when it looks like momma
damn so this is what I wake up to
Me too
Right lol
Oh my god same
Good Lord.
I got way too emotionally involved in that otter's situation way too quick.
Poor otter
crying my eyes out on lunch break everyone wondering wth is wrong with me and sounding like a crazy person when i say baby otter
BRO IM FULL ON SHEDDING TEARS AT 3:52 OVER A LOST OTTER PUP. DON'T YOU EVER LET GO MOMMA.
OMG!!! First after reading the video title I thought that the kid died in freezing water but at last when I saw her mom found her I was so happy like never in my life...
I was living an agonizing morning until the mother found her baby.
i can't fathom what heart reckoning moment the cameraman had to go through while filming this... thanks for the great capture cameraman guy, you could've helped her you know and we also would've lost the opportunity to witness this...
You know you're unhealthily addicted to otter when you get attached to them too quickly and cry over them *wipes away tear*
Tender loving care. Smack smack smack lol
When the baby got lost, I was on the edge of my seat ! 😂❤️
I love sea otters❤💋This video sent me on a emotional roller coaster!!!! I'm in tears dammit.... BBC!!!!!
BBC you made me hold my breathe for way too long
😊 thank god
The level of anxiety I felt when he slipped into the water n couldn’t find his mommy omg 😭😩🖤
Yehey! He was saved.
Thank goodness she found him in time
mother beautiful gift of nature
Before watching: heart been broke so many times
Seeing the title thumbnail: heart been broke another time
After watching: 😳
that's life.
How dare u f@ck with my emotions like that
Oh my poor little heart. The way she sticks her head out to look for her baby 💕
Little guy almost got himself a Darwin award
Is this narrated by David Tennant or do all Scotsman sound like him to me😧
Oh my word, I thought the baby wasn't going to survive! I was just reaching for the tissues - then his mom turned up - yay for moms!
The title makes me d@mn worrried
Whew! I was almost weeping ! Sea Otters are my all time faves!
The title is misleading but I'm glad it is
The whole time I was thinking "y'all better not let that baby freeze because you're trying not to interfere with nature". Alas the baby was found by mummy, I can sleep in peace.
If the title was just “Otter” I would have clicked and watched anyway.
Omg, my heart started breaking and I paused. I did not want to see it die. Then I scrolled down to the comments and realized lol. Thank goodness 😅
Did anyone else check how many upvotes this had before watching, because you didn’t want a sad ending? Or was it just me?
The baby's okay! His mom gets him in end! omg...
I wanna hug these cute otters but they're dangerous 😢
Seals are way worse.
Great BBC video of animals enjoying in the snow, even in the middle of deep waters and magnificent Eagles are looking great in the top of trees.
