Feb 22, 2009: Ottercam
Talk about an unexpected photo op...
| on Feb. 3, the San Francisco-based freelancer found himself on the other end of the lens -- with an otter at the viewfinder. |
and people try to stop litter from getting into the ocean, look how much enjoyment it gives to the animals! :p
| The screen on Aguirre's digital camera soon confirmed what he'd seen: an otter floating on its back, video camera grasped in its paws, lens aimed at the boat of excited photographers. The humans had a bad angle, but Aguirre managed to snap a single clear shot before the otter dived, video camera in tow... Judging by the rust and seaweed adorning the camera, the otter probably wasn't getting much good footage. |
|
"I know I can go down there another million times and I will never see another otter with a video camera," Aguirre said. "I think I have more chance of a penguin coming up to me and actually speaking English." The otter never resurfaced, leaving the photographers to speculate on the make and model of the animal's gear. |

Excellent Leokins, thank you.

And the otter did not max out any credit cards getting the camera, which makes them smarter than humans.

Dang! Why didn't I put this up?? <slap wrist>
I live in Santa Cruz and read that the morning it came out...

I'm glad that that particular otter found the camera.
He has the soft eyes of a true artist.

So, Jacques Cousteau has reincarnated as an otter. Great choice there, Mr. C!

But it would be Argentinian Spanish, so it would have an adorable little lisp.

He stole that camera from the skate.

When watching penguins on TV, in my warped little mind all penguins speak French. I do not know why.
