Sea otter cracking shellfish open with a rock on his chest

It's so amazing how sea otters use the "tools" they find in nature. They will float along on their backs and balance a rock on their chest, so they can use the rock to crack open shellfish like this guy is doing here! So cool! We spotted this guy in the harbor in Monterey, CA. To browse my wildlife photography (or order prints), visit my online gallery at http://www.MomentsInNaturePhotography... !
