River Otters

Another fall day and a drive out to the Whiteshell Provincial Park. Once again I happened upon an otter family of three. Every time I come across an otter or otters they always will swim a little in my direction, pop their heads up and take a look. As usual, their curious nature allowed for this photo before they swam a little farther down the river. I am always thrilled to see these playful animals in their natural environment.

Enjoy!

This is the last of my zoo posts but I would be remiss without including our lions. Not too lively while I was there but at least the lioness was awake – the old fella – well, it was a Sunday afternoon and he was napping. Hmmmm . . .
