Thank you Georgia Aquarium for getting the ball rolling.
Or rather, floating.
It’s a no holds barred #SeaOtterTweetOff.
And it’s the best thing on the internet.
We 💙all sea otters, but we think ours are pretty paw-some. What do you think, @VanAqua? Let’s get this pawty started! #SeaOtterTweetoff pic.twitter.com/gzMuBqzKvA
