Sea Otter Taught To Play Basketball For His Health (WATCH)

This little cutie might be old for his species, but that doesn’t stop him from shooting hoops to pass the time.

Eddie the 16-year-old Southern sea otter was rescued from the sea after not being able to survive on his own and brought to the zoo in Southern California.
