@animalsactslikehumans: The negotiation skills on this guy are 10/10 🦦🐟 This isn't a trained trick; this is a wild transaction. Sea Otters carry "favorite rocks" in their armpits to crack open clams. This otter realized that humans value "things," so he offered his prized possession (a perfect white stone) in exchange for a high-value item (a fish). He literally invented currency on the spot. Would you have accepted the rock? Yes or No? 👇 #SmartAnimals ​#SeaOtter #BarterSystem ​#theartofthedeal
