Otterly Awesome

Another great , fun time at the Detroit Zoo.  Here are the River Otters who are OTTERLY AWESOME.  Michael Phelps eat your heart out.  These swimming phenoms can stay under water for up to 8 minutes.  Their fur is very dense and also very soft.  The zoo has 3 Otters, 2 females and 1 male.  When you visit the zoo be sure to stop by The Otter house and if you are lucky they will be swimming and playing.  I will say that they are most active from dusk to dawn, so if you are at an evening zoo event that is the best time to see them.  However; they do play and swim during the day also, just not as continuous.

  1. Sam,
    Thanks for posting this video. Their smooth moves put a smile on my face. I got a security warning when I tried to reach this site, which I ignored. Hope I am not hacked. Did you post the coney island info?
    Blessings,

  2. Thanks for your kind comment, glad you enjoyed. We will be writing about the coney soon, keep watching. Don't know why you would get a security warning, Blogger is run by Google so it is a legitimate format.
