Sea otter covers eyes with paws while swimming

Watch this super-cute sea otter pup taking a leisurely swim and covering its eyes with its paws.

According to the otter-loving YouTuber who uploaded the vid (KatieOtter501), otters spend a lot of time chilling and often cover their eyes.

“Wild sea otters spend between 50 to 60 percent of their time resting, taking breaks between feeding, grooming and socialising throughout the day and night. Often otters rest with their paws over their eyes, perhaps because it is a comfortable position in which to keep their short paws out of the cold water,” she wrote.

Cute overload!
