Seen that a while back, cutest thing ever
It is cute overload, but according to a spokesman from the Vancouver zoo, it's not as romantic as it appears. The cable news station for the Pacific Northwest latched onto the video when it started becoming popular, and talked with someone at the zoo where it was filmed. According to them, sea otters sleep at sea, and holding hands is a way they avoid drifting away and getting lost from one another. Sometimes a large body of them will be invoved in holding hands(paws).
