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.
