In the cute video, two otters can be seen floating in the water holding hands as they sleep. Mr Mahindra explained the reason behind this and shared a sweet message signifying the importance of a family. He wrote: “Sunday is a day of family togetherness. And that’s what families are for: holding each other up, protecting each other. So this sentence ‘rafting’ is wonderful & the next time someone asks me what I was doing with the family on vacation, my answer will be: I was rafting…”

AccordingNorth American nature, sea otters hold hands to stop drifting and getting lost while sleeping in water. Otters also fear losing their mate to another male or losing their family members while they sleep or relax. They also hold hands to protect them from predators when they group together away from land.
