This was on the front page of my YAHOO feed, so probably lots of you have seen it there.
But it does speak to the fact that prey animals are quite resourceful when it comes to evading predators. Here, killer whales, adorably cute when interested in a boat, are shown to be considerably less cute in their pursuit of an otter family.
Don't worry you don't see any of the kill, just the can-do spirit of the prey. The hunt starts at 1:44. First, there is just some cute whale interaction. Of course, that is worth watching, too, even if it isn't as exciting.
I think it is quite interesting how the otter seems to understand English. I feel she definitely understood the intent of her human helpers. And then, at the end, how she gives the guy a dismissive look when he tries to take some liberties. She is obviously calling for her family, searching for them. She knows that, while she has been technically saved, she is now miles from home, too.
