Ahhhhh  she is SO cute and she is just looking to probably take a little rest.  A sea otter in California tried to take possession of a surf board off the California coast this week and the exchange looks adorable but could have been dangerous.

A pregnant sea otter really liked Nick Ericksen's surf board and didn't want to let him have it back.  Nick's friend finally came to his aid and they were able to get the board back Nick tried to splash water on her to humanely get her to retreat, that didn't work.

Finally she relented with just a  little damage to the board and all was well.  To learn more check out the story from my source, The New York Post.
