Move over Keyboard Cat, it's Piano Otter
> Posted by Jon Burstein on June 23, 2009 11:50 AM

An Asian small-clawed otter named Dua is tickling the ivories at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (actually, it's more like occasionally slamming his paws on the keys).

I like how she plays to the Bebop beat on the synthesizer. Her music has a '60s coffeehouse vibe going on.

To clarify: Dua only plays behind the scenes, as an enrichment for him and to extend his feeding time. YouTube is the only place the public can see him play. Details here: http://bit.ly/yj66q

Ken, thanks for the comment and I corrected the post. You have a great aquarium. Growing up I used to spend my summers in Santa Cruz and going to the aquarium was always a highlight!
