It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for all week long—Otter Friday! Now who’s ready to look at some adorable otters?! That’s what I thought! Bring out the otters!

*PLEASE NOTE: This week’s Otter Friday does not feature any otters. Instead it features jerboas. Do not panic. Our regularly scheduled, otter-centric Otter Friday will return next Otter Friday. See you next Otter Friday!
