- After a Massive ALLIGATOR ate the mother Otter, we were called by a friend and rescued the baby. Starting off with just an eye dropper and then on to a special baby bottle, Sarah, spent every 4 hours giving the baby otter baby puppy milk and over time, eventually weened it off milk and onto a diet of fresh fish. Eventually, Kia began hunting and catching her own fish. Now, she is a healthy juvenile River Otter who loves life!!! to see more of Sarah's videos, go to: / @deermom

Rob is definitely keeping that otter. Look how he rolls around like its his puppy. Cant give it up now man. You love it
Plus it will be safer at your place
Just have to keep restocking the ponds every couple weeks. :-)
very true mate, i hope he keeps her 😊
In most states it's illegal to keep native wildlife as pets.
@@mattfanning7439 but if you get a license it's legal.
Maybe he could one of these TH-camr that build huge pounds I've seen some of them do it
THAT IS THE CUTEST THING EVER.
Please keep raising it. Too bad for the blue gill but that is too cute. TOO CUTE.
Who agrees that rob should keep Kia. WE WANT TO SEE MORE!!!
Yes
Keeper
Hey guys I agree ,now that they've inprinted deeply with each other with an unbreakable bond and love the Lil farm that's growing. So sweat, nicely done! 😉💜
Curses! Foiled again. I would've gotten away with it too, if it Tweren't for them meddlin' kids! ...
....
....
...wait....
Matthew Loss is right! Part of the family guys! Eat a chicken keep her lol
I can never understand the hundreds of people who would express dislike for positive videos like this one.
Honestly honey Some people are just so heartless and ignorant
what heck rob!!! exactly in the video you say "this is where she's meant to be, this is her home" that right there shows alot of love for the little otter, KEEP IT !!! YOU RAISED IT.
I ve always had a great level of respect for someone that not only harvests but protects wildlife. That's the true essence of a sportsman
As everyone has already commented. PLEASE KEEP KIA! As a young kid I saw these otters at a zoo and instantly fell in love. Is it weird I got teary eyed seeing her being with your family? I am insanely jealous and I feel if you get a permit to keep her that her home is with you. Her interactions with you and bond is something that is truly special. Your little girls are so lucky!
I am with the majority here Rob...keep Kia and give him a good home yourself. Beautiful and loving animal and a great family to love him.
PLZ KEEP HER you cant show us somthing so cute as her and give her away plz she is so cute
Dxrty plays she’s also imprinted. Not one of those super weenie petas but it would be best to keep her and to teach others about otters with her
Dxrty plays she needs to be and Arrington!!
Agreed!
Kita is habituated to humans, so reintroducing her into the wild would be a death sentence
Dxrty plays PLZ KEEP HER
rob sarah just adopt the lil cutie!!! u have such a big property for him to play and live in, should be no prob right? 😊 im sure everyone else would love to see this lil cutie in every video from now on!!!👍👍👍
I'm pretty sure it's illegal unless u have a license and it's really expensive
When it comes to keeping native wildlife as a pet, Florida has some pretty strict rules
@@dangerousdylan6262 IDK about FL in particular but in most states the only way you can keep the animal would be for educational purposes or if it's injured to the point where it can't be re-introduced.
johnnyluvstacos she was an orphaned baby. Pretty much domestic at this point. I’m sure they would rather let them have her then to throw her in the wild where she wouldn’t survive
@@dangerousdylan6262 he got the money to buy a license and if he loves that much he is going a long way for it.
Awwww has small as this little baby otter is she's actually saying Hi back to the her owner. She is super sweet , and super fast for such a small little sea otter.
Kia started out with a really hard and Ruff life. But look at her now running around swimming and catching her own food to eat.and she even got this loving family who took care of her since her mom died. These are the kind of people that i would like to hang with for a few. Thank you guy's and i mean the whole entire family that stepped up and took in this orphan sea otter and loved her back to life.
You are the best place for her, look at how much you have to offer her, a steam fresh fish, competent and loving caretakers, a family. Here is no better place for her.
Keep her!!!! And put ciclaids in the pond weekly so she can hunt them. This video was so awesome and she makes a great pet for the channel please keep her!!!!
Oh my goodness, better start catching more fish for that pond! Cuteness overload!
Really hope Kia is alive and striving. It would really make me so happy if she came back to say hi to the family and brought her own little pups as a sign and gesture of thankfulness for saving her when she lost her mother
More like try not to tear up. It is such an beautiful and cute animal. And you not only rescued it but took care of him like your own kids. Mrs. Arrington, I'm short of words to describe your caring heart and full of love for nature and your family. Pure Gold.
This was amazing video and full of love and life. Love y'all.😘💕🙏
"I LOVE OTTERS" always have. When the lady talked to the baby, and the baby talked back, that was warm hearted to watch. Thank you for saving this Otter.
I love Ferrets too! I had 8 at one time. You are so lucky to be able to own one - beautiful and very loving.
I could literally watch her play all day long. So relaxing and cute.
I hope you keep little Kia...what a great home she has there.
Much kudos to you folks,
Most people don't get it, that you can be an avid hunter, angler and still have such empathy for wild creatures to rescue orphaned or injured wild animals and take care of them.
Otters !!!!, my favourite animal.
That story just melted my heart. Way to go Arrington Family. When you go with God, it's ok for a grown man to cry. God Bless!
Rob keep Kia please.
Greetings from the Netherlands.🇳🇱🇳🇱💪💪
Huh
Jaa dat zou zo tof zijn!
(Translation: yes that would be so Sweet)
Alain Doré hello greetings from Boston 🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🖐
Please keep Lia she's beautiful and with you guys as her adopted family she's sure to be safe happy healthy.
Ohhhh my gosh... those little baby sounds it was making each time she spoke to it!!!! I could watch a video of that ALL DAY LONG! Cutest baby animal sound ever!!!!!
Are you serious? An orphaned otter...could only have happened to you Robert Errington. One lucky otter. Thanks for sharing. Props to Dear Mom for nursing it back to good health. God bless you guys and your family. Cheers.
So freaking cute otter. Keep it or I am gonna come get it from you Robert. Kia is a superstar. Respect brother.
Your children are so lucky to be raised in the environment you have created. Good for them..... good on you.
We all want more Otter content.
That otter is too tame to be let free! I sure hope he keeps her as even though she hunts the fish in this little pool, they are still provided for her. That will not happen in the wild. Plus she has become such a big part of this family that it would be hard to let her go. She’s Precious! 💖
Kudos to you and family for the kindness to this special animal. This would extend your life ! Yes, keep this wonderful gift !
Hey , keep her u guys , like u said Robert, this is her home.....
The love u guys show , has no boundaries and that's awesome.....
The moment the cute little otter was shown I really can't stop myself from smiling 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Really enjoyed it. God bless you bro.
Dude hands down you're like one of THE best human beings on earth. THANKS for saving that Otter!
Very cute stuff! Thanks Rob for a beautiful family tribute. It was great fun watching Kia and the other animals/birds in the backyard all doing their thing together.
That is so cool, you guys have to keep her.
Rob: "she's just a lovable, lovable animal"
Half-eaten Mayan Cichlid: AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Exactly. I saw a video on TH-cam where an otter voraciously beached a snapping turtle, flipped it over, and chewed through its shell to get at the guts, all while the poor thing was thrashing around. Literally ate it alive.
That's what I was thinking. That fish was alive while it chewed it's tail. Scared of that!
No SJWs in the wild.
You hunt, fish, kill to survive. But yet you save. Love You with all my heart.
I love otters. We used to live on Otter Road. They named it otter because there were canals all over the place where the otters would fish, then bask on the bank. They are so sweet.
2:15 - the "eating the fish's tail" bit must be purely instinctive - since I assume she hasn't had any adult otter teach her that?
looks that way
One would think it intuitive. nothing on the fishes body moves more than the tail.
Wild otters will also bite off the fins as well, so the tail might just been either figured out on own or instinct.
Deermom animal rescue & petting zoo.
I'm calling it right now one of the girls will become a marine biologist & the other vet.
Keep up the fine work "God Bless"
You do know that your daughters are becoming part otter because of the experience from this young age. This is something they will ALWAYS remember.
My heart were touch by u and sarah saving this poor baby otter...hat off mister
Well done deermum you saved that babies life👍👍 how’s it going Robert my mate hope you’re doing well pal👍👍
Please keep her and I love to see her more video!!
Adorable!! What's not to ❤ about otters!! Too darn cute saying "hi" and it's little "hi" back! Good people taking care of animals, and having the habitat for. Cute family, great energy! Enjoy that "pup" of yours as long as you can!
I was getting ready to say, Aren't y'all gonna be heartsick when she leaves? I think otters are one of (if not the) cutest animals on the planet!!!!
*i'm so jealous i could cry!! THIS IS AMAZING!*
hey when are you and cash gonna colab again? you make neat vidss
U should keep her for self she has a big part of u guys family

Not sure why it posted 4 times
YOU HAVE TO KEEP THIS LOVELY AND LIVELY LITTLE OTTER.
My 23 mo old daughter loves videos of yours with your girls and playing with animals. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
TGBTG!
The dislikes are from vegans than believe Otters should be vegan too. lol.
You got it
He said her mom got killed so she probably remembers what she learned from her mom
I hope you’ve kept Kia...You have the pond! Such a cute creature an otter is...God Bless🙏🏼❤️ Thanks for saving her....😘
That is WAY cool!! Kia is awesome. Nice work on her rehab. If you keep her, she’s gonna need a bigger pond.
She's precious. I wish you could keep her.
Omg please keep Kia! I would love to see her in your future videos more often! I beg you ❤️😩
Restores my faith in humanity, awesome job guys!
Funny thing. Growing up hunting in Gulf Hammock. We actually did the same thing way back in the mid 70's. Momma had been run over and we took the baby Otter home and raised it. Eventually it was well and strong enough, learned to hunt in our pond, that the FDWL took her and released her with a collar. Last I knew, 2 years later, she was doing well. It was amazing!
Wonderful to save Kia. Looks like you drenched out the pond some more. Don’t know how old Kia is, but Kia is gonna need a another otter to be friends with. You guys are fabulous, and may God bless you for caring for “the little ones”.
I love that otter you all should keep it forever👍👍👍👍👍
Honestly you guys take care of her so well and honestly you should keep her cuz I truly don’t think anyone else is fit for such a loving creature you guys literally have a pond filled with fish for her to enjoy you should definitely keep her because this is clearly the best home she could ever have,and maybe I have a bias cuz I would love to see her in more videos. Love and support rob ✌️ ✌️
What a sweetheart, more please.
She's called a Small Clawed Otter . There very popular as pets in Japan . Yes we want to see more of her !
OMG thank you for taking care of otter. My daughter and I absolutely love otters. Please keep her and share more videos.
Those Mayan Chiclids are the Mangrove Snapper of freshwater. Awesome pet!
Beyond cool! If everyone saved an animal, what a different world we'd live in!!
This brings tears to my eyes seeing such kind human beings helping this poor baby out
Loving souls for the animals You will be so blessed Thank You for giving this baby Otter a chance peace
Why would anyone put a thumbs down? You saved its life!
They are the other pet video makers...
And their channel aren't growing
I gave it a thumbs down and I don't make any pet videos. They said that it was covered in puss... if that were true then they should have handed it over to the proper authorities and not have had their small children feed it from a bottle risking their health as well. There are grooming habits they have to learn from their mother (or a surrogate otter mother) that is impossible for them to survive in the wild without, because they have to be able to stay dry/warm. They also have to eat constantly. Just because it caught a fish does not mean she can do the amount of hunting required to live and thrive. My cats catch a mouse once in awhile, but that doesn't mean they can keep themselves alive, or compete with a feral cat for food if it came to that. If they were going to take away her ability to ever return to the wild then they should have committed to keeping it for life. Instead they are looking to rehome it as if they are fostering a stray cat. We hunted these animals almost to the point of extinction, so the least we can do is give props to the people who are keeping them going by respecting the process, as well as respect these animals right to live in their natural environment. If life were the only thing that mattered then we wouldn't have legal euthanasia, and people wouldn't put their beloved pets to sleep when they are suffering. Quality of life means something, and whether they meant to or not, they affected the quality of this animals life forever, and not for the better. Even worse, it feels like they did it for the views and a pat on the back, and to top it off they are sending out the message that they "rescued and rehabilitated" it, perhaps influencing other to follow suit.
Da Big Kahuna Catfish NOT! Just someone who believes that animals, especially wild animals that are "rescued" should be respected as a wild animal. It should be treated by the right people and returned to the wild ASAP. This is especially important if it's an endangered species.
Oh, I agree, he's very VERY cute and I would have a hard time letting him go if I had him... BUT it's wrong to try and tame and keep a wild animal, it's really quite selfish.
people that give thumbsdown to videos like this are heartless !
@@hotcrazycatladyme168 not true! people do this with many animals then release them back into the wild or had the animal released to a zoo
One time I was watching a catch and cook and seen a otter by your feet I was wondering why you didn't notice it it had me like what the hell
I love Kia
Wow I never noticed her which video did you spot her
oh yeah i remember that but if forget which video
Oh man..... I have five ferrets; I've raised ferrets for nearly 30 years-- and Kia reminds me of them so strongly! Ferrets are land-otters the way otters are water-ferrets-- they play very much in the same way, and they love their people in the same way. I'm looking forward to watching more from your channel and seeing your family grow and thrive; keep that little otter safe and with you!
I think we ALL know Rob and Sarah are not giving this otter up to another home, they are so amazing with her :)
just Otter-ly adorable.
okay I'm done I'll see myself out.
Hey dude ! I was having a pretty sad day today and after seeing this video holy smokes it just helped me out so much. Thanks y'all for saving her seriously this was incredible. I'm in tears 😭 right now
TheFacelessjoke this channel helps me smile so often during my bad days.
How do you dislike such a rescue, THANKS!!!!! Humans are capable of doing such compassionate acts, live up to our species.
Such a beautiful video, I wish I had land so I could help the animals who need help myself, but one day I will be buying some land and I will be helping as much as I can. God bless all whom at least try, and all those whom can.
I have watched all of your Videos.This is undoubtedly my FAVORITE !
Nice history, and cute family....!!! Greetings from Venezuela
The Georgia Aquarium will take her if you ever decide you cannot meet her needs any longer. Thanks so much for sharing!
A lot of people know how to take from nature. Robert, you are definitely one. But, you and Sarah also know how to give back. God Bless you, brother.
That is so cool, and you guys are doing an amazing job... God bless
So amazing how well they swim! Dont let it near your pool pond
what i love most is your teaching your kids what animal rescue is about.
Y'all need to keep Kia. She's awesome and you'll really miss her if you give her away. I think you need to put a slide in the pond.
Hands down my favorite TH-cam channel .. u guys rock ! God bless always ♥️
Heya, plant some Catstails and that keep all ponds naturally filtered!
KIA!!!! So adorable!!!! OMG!!! More more more.
Pls keep.kia we love seeing her in your video god bless sarah and rob
I think you should keep Kia. She’s too domestic for the wild now.
She has no ability to fight off predators and has become too familiar with humans.
And he proved ya wrong, she has her own den now and only comes by to chill.
Amazing.
Uday Thambimuthu I never been so happy to be wrong. Didn’t think that would be possible.
@@Starrylyra47 Alot of people overdo the whole sympathy aspect; thousands of years of evolution have contributed to the survival of any one species (sometimes millions of years).
As long as you don't treat the animal like a lapdog, you can teach it to survive on its own.
Probably more difficult with older animals though, being a baby when she was rescued probably helped.
Huge thumbs up from me. I absolutely love otters. There my favorite animals. Great job guy's love you videos.
She is really cute. Definitely a hard choice, she's not afraid of humans, but she can definitely hunt, she belongs in the wild if she can survive. If you haven't already done it you want to make sure its legal to keep her, probably only licensed rehabilitation people can keep them.
This is perfect.....wonderful.... Kia, way to go!!
For a sec i thought the title was orphaned otter {Catch, Clean Cook}...😅
lmfao Robert maybe you should try cooking burgers and hot dogs. People are starting to get ideas.
In a later episode after it's fattened up.
Ohh God hahahahah
Hahaha
so did i for a second 🤣🤣
AWESOMELY AWESOME!!!! Thanks for sharing another outstanding show!! Love them otters ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We just got an otter exhibit at the new safari park by Texas A&M. Adorable little buggers!
Now, someone needs to go to the wonders of wildlife museum in Springfield, MO and give their beaver an extra bit of lovin. That guy just loves people.
PLEASE keep her. She belongs with you guys!!!!!
You're going to need:
1. Another baby otter for this lil baby to have company
2. The aquaponics team to build a bigger pond just for her and her friend.
3. To probably add an enclosure gate around it so they're safe from predators!
Can't wait to see what you do Rob!
YES we will see more Videos form this cute Otter.
Other people would have left her with her fate.
And the best part is that you can be kept true to your species and really hunt fish as in nature.
You are great people.
Greetings from your German - Fan. ( I hope my spelling is nearly correct)
Please keep kia. I want to see more of her adorable face 😍
i can feel your true love for a poor baby otter! Thanks a lot!
That’s cool I knew I saw her on one of your videos under the table 😂 great job on preserving nature
Almost 300 knuckleheads voted thumbs down to a cute otter. Unfortunately, the hate never ceases. Keep making your family friendly videos. It surely beats all the other garbage out there. I will subscribe. God bless👍
tiberius kirk that’s my sons (3 year old) nickname! Lol! Knucklehead! He comes to it when I call unless being stubborn then just calls me one back instead! “Your a kuckle had daddddy!” He says
Keep it! I know your family will grow a huge bond with it!
what a special childhood you have given your kids!
