WHY do all the work when you can get your mum to do it for you?
This otterly adorable little fella stayed dry — and caught 40 winks — by grabbing a lift from its mother.
The sea otter dozed away blissfully under the watchful eye of mum as they crossed Saw Mill Bay.
Photographer Steven Kazlowski, 40, snapped the otters drifting in Prince William Sound, off the coast of Alaska.
Steven, from Seattle, US, waited for almost eight hours before getting the cute critters' pic.
He said: "I had been hiding there for hours when I saw the otter with its baby drift by.
"The baby was just sleeping in the sun as its mother floated on her back.
"It was something I will never forget."
Sea otters spend most of their time on their backs and propel themselves through the water by moving their tails and hind paws from side to side.
