I kind of like the idea that otters are secretly solving the world's mysteries and we haven't noticed yet. Look at that first one. He is clearly working something out in his mind palace.

Behind those adorable faces there is plotting.

The "Martin Freeman as a hedgehog" trend is equally amusing to me. Tumblr is horrifyingly addictive! I never knew so many animals could be so easily anthropomorphized.

I'm shocked they were able to find a photo of a hedgehog with its paw on its face in a classic "Oh...god..." Martin Freeman expression.

I have a friend who used to raise and breed hedgehogs. They are surprisingly cuddly, for being such prickly things. And their bellies are delightful to pet. It's indescribable, haha.

I just howled very loudly! I was really not prepared for those photos! Must spring them on Brilliant Husband when he least expects it. . . .

Otters may have shifted in flight.

Hee! I'm glad to have contributed to the howling! I saw this for the first time while riding a bus and nearly frightened the other passengers.
