Otterly adorable.

Abby is a five-year-old sea otter rescued as a newborn pup in Santa Barbara. She was raised at Sea World San Diego with the help of experts at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. She was transferred from Sea World to the Aquarium in June and is now living in the public exhibit with several other otters.
