River Otter (Lontra canadensis) chewing on a Bat Ray (Myliobatis californica) in Bodega Harbor on 9 March 2026.
The wind hadn't picked up yet, so there were some nice views of the otter swimming in shallow water along the shoreline:
P.S. The otter seemed to be having trouble eating the Bat Ray, perhaps due to its thick skin? Eventually it left the ray behind and moved on.
Do you think it was a young otter still learning what to eat?
