they look like a very physically toned, and extra deviously cunning version of smaller Tree otters that run around my neighborhood.
I swear there's like 50 of them that live in this one tree in my neighbor's backyard.

Their face and chest fur become silvery with age so they look elegant when grooming themselves. Look how she even does her paws as the end:

An abalone can be pretty hard to pry off a rock. Just ask a sea otter! But if there’s a handy stone nearby? Good luck abalone!

I always find it so retarded when we as humans judge animals based on human morality. Like animals are more worthy of admiration if they coincidentally adhere more closely to our type of behavior. Nature doesn't have morality it is simply the way it is and to say some creatures are less worthy of reverence based on something we have developed due to the luxury of civilization is incredibly ignorant.

That in itself is a "retarded" thing to say since animals definitely do judge humans based on their own morality.
For example the Female leopard seal repeatedly trying to feed a male diver -

And the Leopard seal that drowned a woman because it could.

>Like animals are more worthy of admiration if they coincidentally adhere more closely to our type of behavior.
That's exactly how non-human think though...
>Nature doesn't have morality
completely and utterly wrong.

Humans deemed to be more attractive by humans are also judged to be more attractive by other mammals. Even something as distantly related to us as chickens show a preference for more attractive humans.
https://sci-hub.se/https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12110-002-1021-6
Human men are more likely to kill the offspring of other men than their own and human women are more likely to kill their own offspring than the offspring of other women.
You see this exact same pattern of behavior in Horses, Bears, Cetaceans etc.

The similarities disappear very quickly outside of mammals.

>and to say some creatures are less worthy of reverence based on something we have developed due to the luxury of civilization is incredibly ignorant.
Civilization isn't a luxury. Humans worked our asses off to create it out of nothing. We deserve it.
Also it isn't abnormal. It's what we are. No different from a bird nest being a product of what birds are.

I honestly don't know what the point you're trying to make here is. Kristy Brown was killed while snorkeling, so the leopard seal probably couldn't even tell she was a woman and may have even mistaken her for a smaller seal.

"If they have the luck to escape, they begin, as soon as they are in the water, to mock their pursuers in such a manner that one cannot look on without particular pleasure. Now they stand upright in the water like a man and jump up and down with the waves and sometimes hold the forefoot above the eyes as if they wanted to scrutinize you closely in the sun; now they throw themselves on their backs and rub their bellies and pudenda as do monkeys; then they toss the young ones in the air and catch them again, etc.

Altogether a beautiful and pleasing animal, cunning and amusing in its habits, and at the same time ingratiating and amorous. They prefer to lie together in families, the male with its mate, the half-grown young and the very young sucklings all together. . . . Their love for their young is so intense that they expose themselves to the most manifest danger of death. When taken away from them, they cry bitterly, like a small child, and grieve so much that, as we have observed from rather authentic cases, after ten to fourteen days they grow as lean as a skeleton, become sick and feeble, and will not leave the shore."
