That's not affection, they do that so they don't float away from each other. Holding hands is a social thing; what do you think the otter saw the tourists doing it and leaned over to the other one and said "hey I really like you, let's hold hands too"?
corpulentwoman: Why do veggies insist on anthropomorphizing critters? 'Affection' indeed. By placing animals on an even par with humans, you reject objectivity. Your flighty post has prompted me to go out and eat the cutest animal my butcher provides. Preferably something with bid, sad eyes.
Everyone should go see the new Otter exibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. They are adorable when they are pups and you see the surrogate moms teach the pups how to be otters. Check it out, all animal lovers. The program involves otter orphans. Beautiful to see..
