Dawww...

I wish there were some otter sanctuaries around my neck of the woods. Closest thing we've got is an otter habitat at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but they're behind inch-thick glass that's almost impossible to get good photos through. :P

cuuuuuute

closet furries out there

I met many animal lovers to speak with, quite a lot of people seem to be interested in wildlife and environment conservation. No surprise with all the beautiful nature around you.

He's holding that stone WITH PRIDE.

Zen and the art of ottah-stone-balancing!

OMMMM I feel the stone, I AM the stone OMMMM

OMMMM I am so stoned....

Second! =3

pure zen

They are quite the little acrobats, aren't they. Once I've seen one juggling a pebble on each hand. Those Asian Small-Clawed otters seem particularly dexterous and explore the world with their hands.

They seem to be quite hyperactive, all the time playing with something in their hands
I'm pretty fascinated by their social life. One female is the leader of the group and all other otters are following her, squeaking all the time. But every now and then the whole group of otters suddenly stops simultaneously and listens quietly for a short short moment and then continues playing and squeaking. Just like checking "Everyone's still around? Yep, everything is fine, let's go on".

Heh, I've only observed bachelor groups of those guys. When they're active, they mostly do their own thing. One swimming, another climbing rocks, another inspecting some gravel. But there's a leader of the bachelors and they compete for position all the time, like two or three times a week. The leader chooses makes all the important decisions like where the communal toilet is going to be that day and where to sleep.

not to be a perv....but whats that thing ...on him....near his crotch....

His belly button, of course! Otters have outies ;)

ohhhhhhhhhhh XD yay for otters!

They do seem to love stones. I went to a zoo in San Diego, and an otter was playing with a penny someone had thrown in. I was irate at first that someone would do that, but my worry was relieved as I stood there for thirty minutes or a bit more, that the cute dear never made one mention of consuming it.
