A nap in the sun

  

I was working on another task today when I spotted a furry brown animal curled up on the rocks below.  A closer look revealed a sleeping River Otter (Lontra canadensis)!  I was pretty far away, but luckily I had a large zoom lens on my camera.

The otter started to wake up from its nap and at first it still looked a little sleepy:

 
 
 
Then the otter started to become more active and headed down the rocks towards the ocean:

 
 
Not a bad day for a nap on the rocks and a swim in the sea!
