We’re not even halfway through January, but we’ve already got a serious contender for the cutest video of 2012 title. Just see if you don’t melt while watching this group of otters in hot pursuit of a butterfly.
The marine mammals frolic about their enclosure as they attempt to catch the wily insect. Of course he’s got the power of flight on his side, but they’ve got the numbers. It seems unlikely that they’ll ever catch the fluttering critter, but perhaps that’s for the best.
After all, the vid would take a rather dark turn if the otters actually murdered the butterfly. Let’s leave things as they are, OK?
