Hehe! Just a bit of fun this one. This little otter sure loved having his photo taken, he even gave a big smile for the camera! :D

Taken at Cotswold Wildlife Park.

Enjoy! :)

Oriental Short-Clawed Otter - Aonyx cinerea cinerea

This is the smallest otter species and weighs 5Kg.

These otters occur around rivers and coastal waters in family groups of up to 12 animals. They are very vocal, with calls ranging from mewing like a cat to high-pitched whistling.

Unlike the larger otters, they do not swim and catch prey in their mouths, but search through the mud with their forepaws; the prey will be held in their paws whilst they eat.

Wow!!!

there's a photo forum I'm on where I'm known as The Otter King, think its got something to do with the fact I've taken over 700 photos of Otters!

Taken a few at Cotswold and London Zoo and The New Forest Otter & Owl Center

Wow! Lucky you! The otters in our local zoo seem to always be in motion or asleep. Very nice shot! :)
