Description

Enhydra lutris

English: Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) preening itself in Morro Bay Feb. 21, 2007. taken from a kayak on a calm day... this critter got very comfortable with us...
so we did not molest it by drifting fairly close. In fact, I discarded many shots because the focus range was set for ≥6.5 meters, and I was closer than that.

Русский: Калан (или морская выдра) (Enhydra lutris) прихорашивается в Morro Bay. Снято с байдарки в тихий день... этому товарищу наше общество было вполне сносно... поэтому он не возражал, чтобы мы подплыли ближе и сфотографировали его.
