 This is as much fun as watching elephants try to solve a food puzzle.

I wonder what they'd do if someone sat down and played it where they could see. Otters are pretty bright; would they pick up the concept of playing a melody?

I'd be happy just to see what happened after the video ends. One of them was clearly experimenting with the progression from low to high notes. Put that one in front of the keyboard on its own; it's bound to do something interesting.

"Our hosts in addition to providing us with food suited to our lessened caloric needs, demonstrated tool use. It is not lost on us that the device is suited to their paws, so in this way differs from the discs the dolphins have reported. Perhaps they will bring 'balls', those do sound splendid."

Have someone give them lessons? I think they could take to that.
