Sea otters actually use Moss Landing crosswalk created for them

It's something you'll only see in a place like Moss Landing.

A recently-recorded video shows a female sea otter hopping across the road in a crosswalk that is clearly marked as "Sea Otter X-ing."

The sea otter crosswalk and traffic speed bump was built across Moss Landing Road in the winter of 2016 because a beloved otter, Mr. Enchilada, was run over by a car. The sea otter's death was witnessed by harbor workers and saddened locals.

But would sea otters would actually know to use their new special crosswalk?

Thanks to volunteers and employees with Sea Otter Savvy, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, sea otters have been documented using the crosswalk.

Gena Bentall of Sea Otter Savvy shot the video. Watch it above.

She said multiple sea otters regularly use the crosswalk to hop and waddle from the harbor side to the slough side.

While sea otters are beloved for their adorable fuzzy faces, they are also smart, Bentall said.

"They are incredibly clever animals. They don't get (enough) credit for their brains," she said.

About 100-120 sea otters live in Moss Landing and neighboring Elkhorn Slough.

They like to eat clams and crabs in the freshwater slough. There are culverts below Moss Landing Road that allow sea otters to swim from the harbor to the slough, but at high tide, the culverts are closed, and the otters have to walk.

"They are built for being in the water. Their whole body is designed for floating on their backs, so they are not super speedy," Bentall said.

Bentall said the new speed bump has helped slow drivers down as they enter and exit Moss Landing from Highway 1.
