"Baby sea otters are a favourite of mine. The baby lives on his mother's stomach for the first part of his life, so when the mother dives, she wraps her paws around the baby's tummy and takes the little one under the water with her. This teaches the baby to swim, hunt and play. My baby, in my imagination, has just made his first dive and found his first shell, all by himself. There is no rock on baby's tummy to crack it open, so baby still has things to learn from mom. But oh, he's so proud. That's HIS shell." - Elaine Thompson -
