The video was posted on September 29 and so far it has amassed 1 million views, 39,700 likes and several comments. The otter's balancing skills have impressed the internet. A user wrote, "Seals, Otters and Beavers are ridiculously cute. I just want them all to be happy and live forever." Another user wrote, "I love otters! They are sooooo multi-talented!!!" The third comment read, "It kind of looks like this cute otter is just practising for when it gets together with its other otter friends & they play 'pass the hot potato."
Well, there is a scientific reason why otters juggle pebbles. A journal Royal Society Open Science says that researchers believed that rock juggling - where otters bat or throw stones in the air, catch them and even roll them around on their chests and necks - was their way of practising or improving the way they retrieve food from mussels, clams and other things they would typically forage in the wild, reported CNN.
