Sea Otter Celebrating His Birthday at Georgia Aquarium Is Total Party Goals

This is just the cutest!

Everybody likes to celebrate their birthday, including animals! @Georgia Aquarium celebrated their sea otter Cruz's birthday in September, and he enjoyed every minute of it!

The video starts with Cruz chowing down on his favorite snack: ice. But you can't throw a party without decorations, and the aquarium went with a Vegas themed party...complete with dice, poker chips, and playing cards!

@Georgia Aquarium's caption pretty much says it all, "Sea otter birthday party > every other birthday party". They are not wrong there! I'd love to be surrounded by my favorite treats and chowing down on as much as I wanted!  I love how he is just lying there lazily eating...I bet he did that all day! Did he share with his friends? I sure hope so - a birthday party of one isn't very fun! I wondered if since they went with a Las Vegas themed birthday party, he turned 21? So I Googled it, and sea otters have a 15-year life expectancy, so that wasn't the reason. But Vegas always makes for a good time!

Many commenters couldn't get over how cute the video was and simply replied with "So cute" or "Adorable!" Others had more to say. _Call_Me_Caleb_ summed it up nicely with, "Decadence"! @thriftstoreMcLovin said sadly, "My invite must have gotten lost in the mail". @Abigail Langtry pointed out, "I like how he feels for them like a packet of chips LOL!"

@SkittsMcGee asked, "Is that flavored ice?" The aquarium didn't respond, but I wondered the same thing. Maybe it was fish or clam flavored? It doesn't really matter because you can tell that the adorable sea otter enjoyed the feast and the celebration!
