Otters are hands down the most adorable animals on the planet. Your cat? Eh, it's cute but not otter cute. Your Corgi? Not as playful as a river otter. They are hands down the cutest -- end of story. Not only are they cute, but they are caring, sassy, energetic and chatty. In fact, they were downright revered by Native cultures for generations as harbingers of good fortune and luck. And I think we are damn lucky to have such fantastic animals in our world.

1. They're sassy and playful.

2. Look at the freaking cuteness.

3. (Hands otter keys to drive my car because cute.)

4. Look at this fierce little fighter.

5. They slide into our hearts better than boys into your DMs.

6. They don't need liquor to dance at the club.

7. They're solid burglars.

8. They dunk better than LeBron.

10. These six minutes of pure heaven.

Otters are the best. Don't deny that you love them. But if you love them, protect them and their habitats. Otters are rapidly decreasing as their environments see change and pollution. Consider donating or volunteering for conservation efforts in your local areas to protect these incredible creatures.
