Cute animal alert!!

Basketball trained sea otter 'shoots hoops' for exercise - video An elderly sea otter is winning hearts and scoring points as it dunks basketballs at a zoo in Portland, Oregon. The 15-year-old otter, named Eddie, suffers from arthritis in his elbows. Eddie has been trained to shoot a small ball through a plastic basketball hoop in an attempt to improve his arthritic joints (Video at link)

• What a sweetie with his gray head. He seems to enjoy it.

• Wolves and otters. Theys my favorites!

• If he misses, he keeps going until he makes it.

  A lesson for DLers!

• I had assumed that he "shot hoops" with his nose like a seal, but he dunks with his hands! Adorable.

• He not only dunks, he double pumps, drives the lane, and rebounds twice!

• No animal is cuter than I am, bitches! Watch and be amazed!

• I'd love to know more about these two. They're so cooperative, patient, and gentle with each other. I wonder if they're good pals who keep each other company during the day when everyone is gone.

• That's so sweet r12. I love animals.

• I'm pissed off that this got knocked off my threadwatcher.

• It got knocked off mine, too, in addition to a couple of others.

• I found myself smiling while watching the video, something I rarely do when people on Facebook post "cute animal" videos.

• Adorbs!

• It would probably make a good pool question but aren't otters one of those animals which are just inherently cute?
