    The otter knew if he stayed in the water, it was all over, so the boat was an acceptable risk. After a few seconds with nothing bad happening to it on the boat, it realized it could hang there until the orca would maybe get tired of waiting, and move on. Otters a're quite intelligent.

      Also, I'm not a big fan of humans picking winners in the fight for life in the wild. That boat stole that Orca's dinner. If I was that Orca, at the very least I'd do a nice big belly flop next to the boat to give those humans something to ponder.

      A little more "empathy" would have been better. The otter was terrified and you scared her back into the water by not giving her that little space. The words " I'm not going to hurt you" seemed so adequate to you. As if you were expecting a "thank you" or as if talking to your pet dog. Fortunately, the 2nd time you knew better and gave her some space. Still, your own fear was understandable when the "killer whale" circled your boat.

    Maybe if you gave the otter some space instead of standing above it filming, it wouldn't have risked going back in with the orca. I'm glad it ultimately decided you were less of a threat and jumped back onboard.

      I was thinking the same thing.. He went back in because the guy didn't keep his distance. It's lucky the otter survived by getting back on the boat a second time.

    I wish the camera operator hadn’t kept walking toward the otter and scaring her. Just leave her be if she’s on your boat.

    Anyone could tell the otter was terrified, how hard is it to give it a little space?
