Do you love sea otters?
Okay, that was a rhetorical question. These furry marine mammals steal hearts in Vancouver and around the world with their adorable antics and impossibly cute little paws and faces.
But not all otter videos are created equal — some of them will slow your Internet scroll to a screeching stop.
A video shared on Twitter Thursday (June 10) is one of those videos. Not only is the otter in question adorable, but it is also getting its temperature checked...and well, that enhances its cuteness a thousandfold.
Have a look at this beguiling mustelid as it opens its mouth for a routine checkup.
