A Day in My Life


My name is Oscar, and I am an ordinary sea otter. Well, I am sure, I am extraordinary, but....let's pretend that I am humble.

I live in...hmm...I hear people call it an...Estuary...or something similar to that...
As far as I am concerned, it is a pretty neat place where there are salt and fresh waters, and they MIX, believe it or not.

I have a wife and a very cute, little pup. I love playing and hugging him. What a sweet little otter he is, just like me...kiddin'...humble, remember?

Life used to be simple: swim, look at the dowitchers, eat clams, swim some more, pluck fur, play with my wonderful pup, wrap in kelp, sleep...
...but then, things started to change.

I am not sure how to describe the new things, stuff...I know these are not animals or plants that started appearing in my water. Water color started to change, fish started dying...

In fact, I think I better go now, there is something very important I should be doing, instead, I got all chatty here.
