      Otters are born to be free. Please, don’t adopt one. Get a ferret at least. But don’t put an otter in jail ( your home), if you really love them, don’t be selfish. Protect their freedom and work for their rescue and release.

    Molalla is the name of a Native American people that lived here in Oregon so it's more about the cultural significance than the femininity of the name. And it sounds like he'll be called Mo more often than Molalla. Either way, he's adorable!

    The way the weather is changing - more downpours and flooding, there will be more and more wetlands for these beautiful creatures, that's if their food supply isn't poisoned by pollution. I hope not, they are beautiful family oriented mammals. Great video. I remember when I was thrown in the water to learn to swim, but not being an otter, I nearly drowned, ha ! Please come see my Animal vid's.
