You otter believe this is adorable.
North American river otter triplets were recently born at the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison, Wisconsin, WMTV reported.
The zoo announced the trio's arrival on its official Facebook page.
The two males, Montello and Fisher, and the female, Lily, were all born on February 15 to first-time parents, Elva and Dragonroll. The zoo named the baby otters after three of Wisconsin’s rivers.
“We are beyond excited to welcome these pups,” Zoo Manager Johanna Soto said.” Triplets can be demanding, especially for a first-time mom, but Elva has been doing great, and they have been growing at a very healthy rate from day one.”
The zoo also shared pictures of the otters, which included a sign that introduced the otters.
“Born February 15, 2020, introducing Montello, Lily, Fisher,” the sign read.
"Otter pups are born blind and helpless and their eyes remain closed until they are around five weeks old," the zoo captioned the post. "They are raised solely by the female, and won’t be introduced to Dragonroll until they are able to swim."

“Elva is proving to be an excellent mother. And her close relationship with her keepers has allowed us to keep an eye on the pups every step of the way,” Soto said in the zoo’s statement.
Visitors who want to see the triplets will have to wait until May when the otters are strong enough to swim.
