A baby otter is making waves on the internet in an incredibly cute video that looks set to go viral.

You may not have known how much you needed to see an otter pup swimming, but the team at Shedd Aquarium certainly did.

The Chicago-based aquarium has welcomed this little fellow to their facilities and now you can welcome the pup into your heart. You're welcome.

Pup 681, the name the otter was given, was discovered orphaned on a California beach in late September weighing a mere 1kg.

After some much-needed rehabilitation, Shedd accepted a California aquarium’s invitation to take care of the pup full time.

Tim Binder, vice president of Animal Collections for Shedd, said: “It truly takes a village to rehabilitate a young sea otter. Our animal care team is teaching the pup how to be an otter."

In the cute clip the tiny pup swims on its back, has a drink of milk, squeaks adorably and just generally looks REALLY cute - especially with its fluffy fur.

Cue the 'ahh's....
