Pick a boo I got you.
That is what one curious sea otter did at Montery Bay, surprising the heck out of one photographer named Enrique Aguirre. The San Jose Mercury News tells us the story.
Aguirre is a photographer that goes once a month to the bay and takes pictures of such sea life as seals and sea otters. On this particular visit the photographer got more than he expected, a sea otter with a video camera in its paws aimed at him. Aguirre told SJMN about his intial reaction to what he saw the otto doing, "I was like, did I actually see an otter with a video camera or was I hallucinating?" Hallucinating, is right, I can just imagine how surprised I'd be to see such a creature with the equipment, and how well it was managing it. The video camera is speculated to have been from a kyaking tourist. With the accumulated rust, the camera is thought to have been dropped in the water for some time. Since that one encounter with the otter, Aguirre has come back to the spot where he saw the unforgetable sight, but no sight of the video camera otter. Aguirre concludes his thoughts about seeing the otter with these humerous words, "I know I can go down there another million times and I will never see another otter with a video camera, I think I have more chance of a penguin coming up to me and actually speaking English." Wouldn't that be a sight to see?!?!

Haha! I never expected to be reading about sea otters holding cameras. I really like the way you emphasize and use 'Peek a boo I got you' as your first sentence and have it only on one line. It made me want to read the rest of your work to see what animals have to do with playing peek a boo. I enjoyed reading this from the beginning to the end. I especially enjoyed Aguirre's quote where he talks about the chances of seeing the otter again in the same way. Haha. A talking penguin!
