I so love this!

there are a variety of reasons they do this 

they use them as tools to break the shells of food they’ll eat

they like to play with and juggle them 

they become attached to them 

we should all have a pocket for our favorite rocks

I do tend to collect rocks wherever I go

and have my clear favorites

but don’t always have a pocket

how lucky the otters are.
