A sad farewell to Internet superstar Nyac the otter, best known for adorably holding hands with fellow mammal Milo -- see video below.

Nyac died this week, at age 20, of leukemia. As well as being painfully cute, Nyac was one tough otter -- she survived the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill and spent the rest of her life at the Vancouver Public Aquarium.
