WATER BABIES

The last exhibit we visited is actually brand new at the zoo.
These are Asian Otters.  They are much smaller (about the size of a cat) and swifter (it was hard for me to get a good focus) than River Otters.
This is a young new couple, and the female is pregnant.


We were fortunate in our timing, as they were very active - though hard to capture on film.


I love the green/turquoise color of the water almost
as much as this face:

Mister got industrious all of a sudden.  He pulled and yanked at young
bamboo shoots to begin "feathering the nest", er, den:

Oh man--if they are swifter than the otters we are used to, they must be REALLY fast, because those otters we usually see are speedy little dudes. Sweet little faces; I think you did an admirable job with a fast subject.

I agree with you about the picture of the otter in the water; the colors and movement are exquisite!
