Celebrity otter gets pennant of honor for mobile-saving deed
You Tiao, the small-clawed otter at Shanghai Wild Animal Park, acted quickly when the mobile phone of a visitor fell in water last week.
Do you remember the small-clawed otter at Shanghai Wild Animal Park named "You Tiao" which helped a visitor "pick" her cell phone she accidentally dropped in water last week?
To show her gratitude, the visitor surnamed Zhao had promised to present a pennant to the otter at the time.

On seeing "You Tiao" via video link, Zhao, who's in Beijing now, said she was very excited. "It's so cute. I just want to laugh whenever I see it. I'm so happy... I'll make a special trip to see this little guy again next time!"

The kind deed turned "You Tiao" into an Internet celebrity, earning a nickname, Lei Feng Otter, from some netizens.
