Monterey Bay sea otter finds video camera, turns tables on photographer

And now for something lighthearted from the San Jose Mercury News:

Wildlife photographer Enrique Aguirre makes a point of visiting Monterey Bay once a month to capture images of herons, seals and sea otters.

But on Feb. 3, the San Francisco-based freelancer found himself on the other end of the lens — with an otter apparently looking at the photographers through a video camera viewfinder.

Aguirre was on Capt. Yohn Gideon’s Elkhorn Slough Safari boat with several other professional photographers when the group spotted an otter in the distance. Gideon steered closer as Aguirre framed the shot. Then, Aguirre noticed something odd.

“I was like, did I actually see an otter with a video camera or was I hallucinating?” he said.
