For your daily dose of cute, look no further than the Oakland Zoo — which just this morning released new video of the six, six-week-old otter pups now in the zoo's care. Bay City News reports that the young river otters are now on display, with their two moms (they're from two separate litters) just in time for Mother's Day.

There are now nine river otters at the zoo, and the two new moms — named Rose and Ginger by zoo officials — are mother and daughter themselves. Rose is four years old, and give birth to Eno, Sikwa (both boys), and Kai (a girl). Ginger is nine, and gave birth to Ashkii, Sudali (both girls), and Victor (a boy).

According to ABC 7, one male otter — named Wyatt, and from a Texas zoo — sired all the pups.

"North American river otters are in high demand in zoos and Oakland Zoo’s breeding success means that these charismatic little guys will eventually get to charm even more children in other zoos across the country,” explained Oakland Zoo zoological manager Margaret Rousser in a statement reported by CBS 5.

According to the Oakland Zoo, river otters are a voracious bunch, eating "fish, crayfish, frogs, turtles, and aquatic invertebrates, plus an occasional bird, rodent or rabbit."

"The otter pups start their life in a burrow in a river bank, usually an abandoned muskrat den," Zoo officials explain. "Born blind and helpless, they are nursed by the female for a month. Venturing out of the den, they rough-house and play in the shallow water, where their mother teaches them to swim and hunt." The video below shows some of that very rough-housing.
