Together forever: Heartbroken otters who were best friends die within hours of each other

kaytee:

Two elderly otters who were best friends and lived side-by-side for 15 years have both died of a heart attack within an hour of each other.

It’s thought the second heartbroken animal passed away from the stress of watching his mate die.

Daz and Chip – both male – lived and died at Naturelands Zoo in Nelson, New Zealand.

Zookeeper John Miller said the Asian otters, who were 19 and 16 years-old, had been best friends for 15 years.

Well, I can’t bring myself to paint up an otter today.  Please observe a moment of silence for Daz and Chip.
