What’s in that otter’s mouth? Is that a snaggletooth?….or a ciggy butt?!

Can’t tell from the photo, but these critters are bigger than they look. After 11 years, I finally saw one last month on a dawn beach walk. From a distance, I thought it was a freaky giant lab/dachsund cross :]- till I was right next to it. A good 4 to 5 feet of pure muscle. I have no idea if it was male or female, but it was very cool. Hope that is NOT a cigarette butt!
