Lontra canadensis | North American River Otter | 2019-11-05 | Brian & April Heath | 1 | He or she has been visiting the pond on our property every morning. My husband and I have seen it making it's way through the series of shallow creeks that lead up to the pond. It's whole body is visible as it scurries through the 5' tall drainage tube that goes under the driveway leading from the creeks to the pond: short legs, long tail, adorable face. It's not real shy and swims laps and circles for quite some time (and watches us) before searching for a fish to eat. Today it swam on it's back while eating the fish. This play & hunt goes on for hours with some short breaks until it's caught 3 fish. The 3rd is taken back home down the creek. - Four Oaks | photo | 02_Photo |
