1. I remember seeing where they use rocks to break shells to get at food.

I guess that is where they keep the rocks...lol

5. that place is magic on magic.

i know folks hate the whales there, and the dolphin shows.
but you cant love what you cant see. and that training keeps those big brains from going nuts.
those otters came from a big oil spill iirc.

thx so much for this. otter pockets is the chuckle i needed today.

7. I always understood they simply used their armpit to stash their bashing rock

Turns out, they have an specially adapted flap under their arm, a pocket. I did not know that.
