Swimming-and-foraging-otters

The bay where the otters are from is under threat by a large development which will affect their food chain, and the rest of the delicate ecosystem therein.

In the meantime, we take the orphaned Asian small clawed otters out for exercise, and to forage in the bay, until they are released. After about two hours, they jump back in the boat, and are ready to go back home for a nap.
