Otter going in the water.

I remain less good at photographing live animals because they have a tendency to move, but I took 200 photos & just posted the best ones :) You can click on the pictures in the gallery to get 1024 x 768 versions - if you want higher resolution copies of any of them, comment here & I'll email the 2272 x 1704 version to you. I also have more pictures of some of the animals if you can cope with motion blur and underexposure.

I love otters. I shook an otter's hand- err, paw once in '91 at the otherwise dismal B'ham zoo. The conditions they had those poor animals in...dreadful.

These otterses are well looked after - they have a large indoor and outdoor area that they can go between at will. The Asian short-claws are kept in large family groups because that's what they prefer, and the Canadian and European otters are in pairs.
