Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force training squadron encountered a sea otter floating on its back, belly up, while sailing in the Arctic Ocean, according to reports in Japanese media. The crew's photos of the animal drew amused reactions online, with commenters joking about the otter having eaten several crabs and calling it a 'gourmet' moment.
