Another one of the delightful little critters that we have the privilege of diving with in the Pacific Northwest!

I seem to be running into bright red critters here lately. Does anyone know if this is a mating coloration? I don't remember seeing photos of these guys this color. Beautiful!

http://www.seaotter.com has one that is this color of pink and another that is a deep zinfandel color (...mmmmm zinfandel). No wine for me tonight though, I'm diving in the morning!!!

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!! $\:D/$
