Splashing otters

These otters weren’t afraid to make a splash when they burst upon the tranquil scene with the wading birds silently tracking their prey. A large alligator lurked nearby, but she didn’t spoil the fun either.

Sharing the habitat with egrets, herons, turtles and gators, these otters jump in the water, swim, jump out and scurry around the brush. They seem to be having fun.
