Finally, something to fill the Tazo-sized hole in our hearts: the Prospect Park Zoo debuted three new otter pups to Brooklyn! And they're adorably roly-poly, as you can see in the video below:

The pups are the first North American river otters born in a NYC zoo or aquarium since 1956. They were born in February to Dixie, a 3-year-old female, and Oogie, a 10-year-old male. You can see them in the video below—it may not have been "love at first sight," but things obviously turned out well. If you go to visit the new otter pups this weekend, don't forget to participate in their Fleece Festival Saturday and Sunday!
