Follow the Northern California river otter on a seasonal journey through the prismatic light of the High Sierras to the Pacific Ocean with this vivid mix of 2D/3D animation and hand drawn illustrations crafted by Bay Area production studio Little Fluffy Clouds for the River Otter Ecology Project.

“Hopefully the exposure will allow ROEP to continue to educate the world about these playful little critters whose presence in the Northern California watershed, after years of extirpation, proves the value of caring for the rivers and waters.”
