Social Sea Otters "Actively Offer Treasures" by Gifting Strangers! Seeing Others Appreciate and Spin with Joy: Want to Be Friends?

A fisherman working on a dock had a delightful encounter with a sea otter. The otter approached him and presented its treasured rock, placing it on the ground as if to say, "Take a look at this beautiful rock!" The fisherman picked up the rock and gently tapped it a few times. The sea otter was overjoyed, spinning around in circles beside him. Shortly after, it retrieved its rock and swam away, much like a child proudly showing off a new toy.

A TikTok user, @user8736150399263, recently posted a viral video of this encounter. The user, who works as a fisherman in the U.S., shared his magical encounter with a charming sea otter. The otter swam up to the dock, fixed its gaze on the fisherman, and then carefully placed its rock on the ground. It seemed to be saying, "Look at how beautiful my rock is!" Initially, the fisherman didn't understand the otter's intentions and picked up the rock, tapping it lightly. Seeing this, the otter happily rotated its body on the water's surface. It then returned to retrieve its rock and leisurely swam away from the fisherman's view.

The video of this encounter has attracted over a million viewers on TikTok. Commenters have expressed their admiration, saying, "This sea otter is so spiritual," "The otter definitely wanted to show off its beautiful rock," "I'm so happy to see a sea otter up close; usually, I can only see them behind glass at the aquarium," and "How can it be so cute? It's like a child showing off its treasure!"
