CUTENESS OVERLOAD: 2 sea otters hold hands at the Vancouver Aquarium

Holding hands is a common 91Ƶ and adorable 91Ƶ way for otters to stay safe in the water

It91Ƶs the cutest video of two sea otters you may ever see.

Tanu and Katmai are the two eldest sea otters that live at Vancouver Aquarium, and were caught on camera holding hands while floating in the water 91Ƶ coincidentally a day before the aquarium launched its annual Sea Otter Awareness Week.

Holding hands 91Ƶ or rafting 91Ƶ is a natural otter behaviour, according to April Penney, communications advisor with the aquarium.

91ƵSea otters raft to stay together while resting or during inclement weather as a way to protect themselves; there91Ƶs safety in numbers,91Ƶ she said.

Other rescued sea otters at the aquarium include Kunic, Rialto and Hardy. The group will be the focal point of the week of awareness, which runs from Sept. 22 to Sept. 30.
