Mololla Mo, the Oregon Zoo’s nine-week-old river otter, is learning to swim, and check it out. It’s basically the best thing ever. “Baby otters do not know how to swim when they’re born!” WHAT!

(Fun fact! Mo’s the son of Tilly, who you might remember from when Alex Zielinski and I—no big deal or anything—TOTALLY GOT TO HANG OUT WITH OTTERS THAT ONE TIME.)

The only problem with the above video is that the music is kind of terrible. Here’s an alternate soundtrack that I’m pretty sure Mo would approve of.

With honor and distinction, Erik Henriksen served as the executive editor of the Portland Mercury from 2004 to 2020. He can now be found at henriksenactual.com.
