Description At work, taking photos.... again..

Asian Small-clawed Otters, (aka Oriental Short-Clawed Otters) are the smallest otters in the world. These otters are especially distinct for their forepaws, as the claws do not extend above the fleshy end pads of their toes and fingers. These attributes give them human-like proficiency and coordination to the point which they can use their paws to feed on mollusks, crabs and other small aquatic animals. These otters are found in mangrove swamps and in freshwater wetlands. Asian Small-clawed Otters are found in Indonesia, Southern China, Southern India, the Philippines and Southeast Asia. They live in extended family groups with only the alpha pair breeding and previous offspring helping to raise the young. thankyou wickipedia!

sooooo cute these boys are..

I love to feed those otters eggs. They are so dainty when they eat them

oh and also, one time I saw them catch kill and devour a duck... disturbing

Great shot. His head looks mental the way you caught it mid shake.

yeah.. 'cept sadly there is only 5 of the origional 7 left at the zoo, 1 died, and 1 has gone to dubbo to breed ..

the other 5 were fighting so they were seperated, 2 in one enclosure off display and then 3 on display (which this is one of)
