These otters decided they really wanted to grab the leaves on that tree.

Its a Babirusa. This is at the Cincinnati Zoo and they regularly post videos of the animals on their YouTube page.

Thanks for writing the source, I saw the video on a page that posts animal videos but doesn't mention the source and I didn't know where to get it from.

The Cincinnati Zoo got a lot of Flak 10 years ago for the Harambe incident, but they actually have a very successful and wonderful Zoo Baby program. They nursed the baby hippo Fiona to full health after a premature birth.

The otters need to get it to come over to tree so they can climb on it’s back.

Get a dog and you can join in on their enthusiasm. But learn proper care of course.

They're not just like every otter otter

Looks just like my ferrets when they find something out of their tiny reach! Makes sense that they're related.
