North American river otters play with enrichment

American River Otters spotted in Ridley Creek for first time in over 100 years

You otter know: due to giant river otters’ size and strong swimming capability, they are successful in competing for prey with black caimans and jaguars in the wild. They prefer fish that remain still on the bottom of clear rivers, and they chase prey rapidly and tumultuously, with twists and dives in the water. #tmyk #dyk | Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens
