OttersNapping
A pair of otters enjoy a warm winter nap at the Vancouver Aquarium's Marine Mammal Rescue.

As Vancouver experiences what is likely the coldest day of the year, here's something to keep you warm.

The Marine Mammal Rescue at the Vancouver Aquarium has shared a video of sea otters having a nap together. The adorable pair seem to be dreaming a bit (can otters dream?) as they wriggle a little while laying back to relax.

"Being a sea otter is incredibly exhausting. The rescued otters at the Vancouver Aquarium are fully aware of that fact and insist on regular naps..." states the video's description.

Sea otters spend about 11 hours napping each day, according to SeaOtters.org.

For once, the YouTube comments section is worth reading.

"OMG those paws!!! Those snoots!!! I really can't believe just how addicted I am to watching all the otters!!!' writes favor19881.

"This is just priceless. Hardy and Rialto, two of the biggest and snarfiest bois at vanaqua, dreaming sweetly of clammies with paws up in celebration. It can make a grown man cry." writes SunnySideRice.

"I didn’t know I needed this today. Thanks MMR ❤️," writes N Talise.

"Adorable creatures big floofy boys 💙," writes Sarah Carter-Ali.
