A group of wild otters was recently seen relaxing and sunbathing by the river near Mid Valley KL, bringing smiles to passersby who were lucky enough to witness the adorable moment.
The sighting has since gone viral, melting hearts online.
Otters seen after work hours
The adorable encounter took place between 6–7pm.
Amanda, who goes by XHS handle 绮绮分享空间🍓, told WeirdKaya that it wasn’t her first time seeing otters there, but it was definitely the most exciting.
I’ve seen them here before, but usually just two or three,” she said.
“This is my first time seeing a whole group! It felt really special.”
A rare but heartwarming scene
Amanda shared a video of the otters lying along the river near Mid Valley and The Gardens.
In her caption, she wrote, “Today’s happiness is brought by otters!” adding that they looked “so happy and cute.”
Nature in the middle of the city
Although the area is known for its shopping malls and heavy traffic, the otters have been spotted there a few times before.
Amanda said she had seen them around twice or thrice over the past year, but it’s still rare to catch them in a large group.
Netizens react with joy
Many commenters on XHS gushed over how lucky Amanda was. One wrote, “Who needs therapy when you can watch otters chill by a mall?”
Others praised how peaceful and wholesome the moment felt amidst the city’s usual rush.
