Eric caught a glimpse of these River Otters (Lontra canadensis) today, but if he had been a minute earlier or later, he probably would have missed them. (Luckily, I wasn't too far away and he alerted me to them!)
I love when the otters roll on their backs:
And I'm always impressed with their fish-catching abilities. Perhaps someone can help identify the fish in the photo below?
Too cute, that one warming his belly in the winter sun.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a kelpfish!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Jackie. Your otter photos are always my favorite!
The fish looks like a Giant Kelpfish - Heterostichus rostratus
ReplyDeleteHi, Sadie and Matt! Thanks so much! Paul and Eric also thought Giant Kelpfish looked like a good match, so it appears we have a winner!
