Two otter visits: in our backyard and to Mote Aquarium to see three otter "teenagers" play

I woke to see an otter in our backyard (June 3, 2016). I sight otters frequently in the pond, but rarely see an otter so close. Later, I went to Mote Marine Research Laboratory and Aquarium and watched them play! Gosh they were active. I took this photograph.

Wall labels of information about river otters and caring for them line the walls of the exhibit. Otter residing in Wildewood Springs is a testament to the health of our neighborhood habitat.

Neighbor Phyllis (Spring Lakes) left a message on an earlier post about an otter chasing a Canada Goose gosling!
