On my previous zoo trip, I managed to get a few pictures of otters. This time I got quite a few more.



Otter ledge



This may look familiar from the previous zoo trip. This ledge overlooks one of the areas we tourists can look at the otters, and everytime there's someone with a camera standing in that area, the otters come up to the ledge and show off. Yes, they mug for the camera.

Look ma! More tourists!

Otters are graceful swimmers

I've been checking all your posts about your trip to this zoo park... and well, I'm surprised to see so many rare species on you photos. I mean, licaons (wild african dogs) and babiruses are just too rare to be commonly in zoos; that's just impressive. Pretty much the same to that odd ibis, or the pingueon (I guess it's some south assian species, but I don't recognize it). I figure out this zoo may be one of the most important among its kind.
About the otters, I find them really amusing; I love how playful is this specie. Anyway, are those otters from America? they look different from european otters.
I look forward to more of your zoo posts. Those pics are neat ;-)
