This is the story of the sighting of the rare migratory sea otter, which travels vast distances over land in order to reach its breading grounds. This is a feat not seen in semi aquatic mammals throughout the animal kingdom.

It was a warm bright sunny day, the sea was clear and no trace of wind, a perfect day to catch a glimps of this mystical beast. the conditions were perfect for a group of snorkelers to go out into the ocean and enjoy the wonders the sea has to offer. It was treacherous getting out behind the break line, dodging rocks as the ocean unleashed its relentless onslaught of waves. However these snorkelers were not deterred and pushed on behind the breakline where the water was calm in its light green state. The snorkelers would dive until their ears hurt and lungs felt crushed, and then slowly ascend to the surface, while looking up to the rippling light of the sun through the green haze of the indian ocean. Suddenly the snorkelers caught something in the corner of their eyes, one of their party was moving with such natural sea grace. as he swirled and darted around the began to see the transformation very rarely seen. As he swam below them he turn to look up at them, both hands to chest with syncronised feet movement found only in the butterfly stroke, the transformation was complete, they had witnessed the birth of the otter.
