A Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 15 Dec 2024. It was sandbathing on the path, then moved behind the shelter in the background for some privacy. There, I managed to make eye contact with it.

Day 6: I believe they have accepted me as one of their own, though I'm worried about Larry, who keeps asking: "Is it just me, or do I smell wet dog?"
A pair of Smooth-coated Otters (Lutrogale perspicillata) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve on 15 March 2025. They were sandbathing at this spot for a while. Visitors passing by had a good view of them from the path next to the spot. Later on, they went to a nearby pond for a swim.

"When sea otters were reintroduced along the coastlines of islands in Southern California and British Columbia, researchers saw kelp forests return to areas that were destroyed by sea urchins. But how slow or fast they grew back depended on the location—and until now, scientists didn't understand why".

I feel like it’s mandatory to make marine puns in order to work at aquariums
