Otters are some of the most beloved creatures in the water. They draw crowds for their puppy-like playfulness, their social intelligence, and their tendency to hold hands for safety. They also solve puzzles and build relationships with other otters. Christy Sterling from Chicago's Shedd Aquarium discusses the IQ of otters. Part of the "Animal IQ" series.
