This Otter Just Made a Trade
Bob the Bear
A sea otter climbs onto a dock holding a small rock and deliberately places it in front of a human. Instead of leaving, it waits — nudging the stone forward as if expecting something in return.
When the human accepts the “offer” and responds with a fish treat, the interaction turns into a clear exchange. Otters are already known for using rocks as tools, but moments like this hint at something more: rapid learning, intention, and social awareness.
It’s not just cute behavior.
It’s problem-solving with personality.
