I decided years ago that the otter was my favourite animal. Why? Because their little noses and sausage-like bodies make me want to curl up into a ball and cry because I don’t own one. Here is another thing to add to my list of why otters are my favourite: otters playing the keyboard. Yes, it is just as cute as it sounds. Yes, they’re probably better at it than you. And no, you can’t have one.

Otters playing the keyboard isn’t just cute entertainment for humans, it actually serves a purpose too. The Smithsonian National Zoo calls this exercise “Animal Enrichment”, and the otters have jam sessions together twice a month to “engage their sight, touch, and hearing senses.”
