A mother sea otter carries her tiny newborn pup gently in her mouth, out of the den among the rocks and down the bank to the water's edge. Once she is afloat she rolls onto her back, settles the pup on her chest, and paddles slowly away across the calm green bay β the little one's very first journey, made without ever leaving its mother's care.
