Kotaro is a picky otter, and most toys never win him over. A little pink propeller that flies across the living room is a different story. more

His human sends it into the air, and Kotaro runs to wherever it went. If it drops out of sight, he hunts hard in the spot where it last fell. When he finds it, he chews on it.

A wet otter stands upright on a carpeted floor, holding a pink plastic toy up to the mouth with both paws. A headline runs in white letters across the lower third. — Once the propeller lands, the chase ends with the toy held tight and chewed.

Hana wants a turn. She goes after the propeller a few times, but Kotaro is too fast for her.

Sometimes Kotaro carries the toy back to his human, and that earns him a treat. Then he sits up straight and watches the air, waiting for the next flight.

A small otter sits upright on a shaggy rug, looking upward with both front paws raised near the face. A headline runs in white letters across the lower third. — Between flights, an otter sits up and watches for the propeller to go up again.

Hana tries a smarter plan. She gives up the chase, lies down nearby and looks cute. The treats come to her anyway, while Kotaro keeps running.

An otter lies on a shaggy rug and looks up, front paws resting near the chest. A headline runs in white letters across the lower third. — Lying close by and looking sweet turns out to bring treats too.

There's a second way to play. Launched straight down, the propeller spins like a top on the floor. Kotaro seems to like this even more. He watches it twirl, then grabs it with his hands.

At one point his human gives him the toy so he can launch it himself. He can't make it fly. He isn't tired, though, so back to the game they go.

An adult female otter holds a pink plastic toy indoors, with a teal chair and skateboard in the background. The headline runs in white letters across the lower third. — Kotaro is a picky otter, and most toys never win him over.

When the propeller is his, Kotaro holds it with his front legs and slides across the floor on his belly. Then he starts stashing the propellers in one of the slippers, one picky otter's idea of a toy box.
