a sea otter swimming on its back bangs tightly-clutched mussel shell against a fist-sized rock atop its belly in rapid succession. intense hunger pangs strikes! on, and on, the sea otter bangs with sheer determination. hard work pays off, at last! mussel is wolfed down. how's that for ingenuity? a cute marine mammal with a human brain.
