You 'otter' check this out

You ‘otter’ know something about the creatures in today’s photo. They’re a pair of North American river otters swimming in Maine’s Acadia National Park. Technically members of the weasel family, these ‘water dogs’ aren’t just locked into rivers. They can be found in waterways and along the coasts across North America. A myopic animal with eyesight adapted to assist with swimming, river otters have a tendency to come right up on humans or boats, usually within a few metres.
