    Here's a song I wrote, to the tune of "Little Old Lady From Pasadena.
    It's the little Sea Otter that's Santa Cruzin'
    The little Sea Otter that's Santa Cruzin'
    (Go otter, go otter, go otter, go)
    Lives near a beach full of surfers boozin'
    (Go otter, go otter, go otter, go)
    But way out in the deep blue ocean she hoards
    A great big collection of their stolen surf boards.
    And everybody's says you'll get a real bruisin'
    If you mess with the otter that Santa Cruzin'
    At Cowell's and Pleasure Point, she's a real pain.
    She's the absolute terror of Steamer Lane
    It's the little sea otter that's Santa Cruzin'
    If you see her on a wave, don't act all vicious
    (Go otter, go otter, go otter, go)
    She'll take a chunk off your board and say it's delicious
    (Go otter, go otter, go otter, go)
    Well, she's gonna bite a leg off, sooner or later
    'Cause she's convinced she's really an alligator.
    And everybody's says you'll get a real bruisin'
    If you mess with the otter that Santa Cruzin'
    At Cowell's and Pleasure Point, she's a real pain.
    She's the absolute terror of Steamer Lane
    It's the little sea otter that's Santa Cruzin'
    The rangers try and try, but they can't take her
    (Go otter, go otter, go otter, go)
    She leads them on a wild goose chase through the breakers
    (Go otter, go otter, go otter, go)
    They all come to catch her from miles around
    But she'll give 'em a length, then she'll shut 'em down
    And everybody's says you'll get a real bruisin'
    If you mess with the otter that Santa Cruzin'
    At Cowell's and Pleasure Point, she's a real pain.
    She's the absolute terror of Steamer Lane
    It's the little sea otter that's Santa Cruzin'
    (Go otter, go otter, go otter, go, c'mon, go otter, go otter, go otter, go) ....

      I used chat gpt and came up with this. (Verse 1)
      In Santa Cruz, where the waves roll high,
      There's a tale of a creature, catchin' everyone's eye.
      Otter 841, with a furry coat of brown,
      She's the thieving sea otter, causin' quite a stir in town.
      (Chorus)
      Oh, Otter 841, you're a legend in the sea,
      Surfin' on stolen boards, as wild as can be.
      With a taste for surfboards, you've got the coast on alert,
      Rulin' the waves, it's Otter 841, the otter expert.
      (Verse 2)
      From Otter 723, she got her fearless genes,
      Born in captivity, now livin' her dreams.
      Raised in Monterey, with precautions in place,
      But she found her way to surfers, with a mischievous embrace.
      (Chorus)
      Oh, Otter 841, you're a legend in the sea,
      Surfin' on stolen boards, as wild as can be.
      With a taste for surfboards, you've got the coast on alert,
      Rulin' the waves, it's Otter 841, the otter expert.
      (Bridge)
      She's agile and quick, a thief on the prowl,
      Leavin' bite marks on boards, showin' her howl.
      The wildlife agencies are on a mission,
      To capture and relocate, with utmost precision.
      (Verse 3)
      In the clear blue waters, where the surfers play,
      Otter 841 steals the spotlight, every single day.
      She's a symbol of resilience, a creature untamed,
      A surf rock icon, her legacy's been named.
      (Chorus)
      Oh, Otter 841, you're a legend in the sea,
      Surfin' on stolen boards, as wild as can be.
      With a taste for surfboards, you've got the coast on alert,
      Rulin' the waves, it's Otter 841, the otter expert.
      (Outro)
      So if you're in Santa Cruz, keep an eye on the bay,
      You might spot Otter 841, stealin' boards away.
      She's a testament to nature's spirit, a force to reckon,
      Otter 841, the surf rock otter, forever in session.

    This otter is being tracked by Monterey Bay Aquarium. Their prognosis is that this otter is not afraid of humans, which could end up being its demise. If caught, it is going to end up in another aquarium somewhere. It was in captivity before in its life, an otter that got abandoned, when a pup, and got to like humans a bit too much, if you will, when rehabilitated.

    Since when do you need to put an otter in an aquarium to appreciate the existence of nature? I've been begging for industry to stop killing our planet for decades, I didn't need the zoo to motivate me. Conserve and protect this animal? Bull pucky, you're "rescuing" this otter because it's inconvenient to relatively wealthy people, and you're gonna make a tonne of money showing the cute otter off as a side bonus.

    Sea otters do not surf. Sea lions and dolphins, on the other hand, do know how and can bodysurf waves. This sea otter just wants to hang out and bite a soft surfboard. Unfortunately, that means it isn't afraid of human contact. That also means it can get close to fishing boats, for instance, or jet skis perhaps, and that wouldn't be a good thing. I'd suggest that the people who think they know more than marine biologists contact the Monterey Bay Aquarium to find out why an otter getting too close to humans isn't good for the otter!
