Two young otters versus one garden hose

There are two young otters in this pool and one garden hose, and they do not agree about it. more

Their owner aims the spray their way, and one otter goes straight at it. He attacks the water with total focus, as if it were an intruder, and at one point gets his paws around the black nozzle itself.

The other otter isn't a fan. Viewers adore the look she gives the man holding the hose, a flat scowl that needs no translation, along with a low, grumbling squeak. One person compared her to a grumpy lifeguard keeping order in the pool.

Then the pool is full, and the game moves underwater. Both otters take their time in the cool water, diving under, flipping over and swimming along on their backs.

With the pool full, the otters dive and swim through the cool water.

In the water, the hose fan shows off a stroke of his own. He swims in quick, leaping bursts, and viewers writing in English, Russian and Japanese all reached for the same word for it: dolphin.
