The Short-Clawed Otter (Aonyx cinerea), also known as the Oriental Small Claw Otter, is currently listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This small mammal is the smallest of the otters, but, unfortunately, they remain somewhat of a mystery because of lack of research and study. / As its name suggests, the Short-Clawed Otter has claws that are much smaller than other otters’. Also unlike other otters, their paws are almost like hands, very slightly webbed

Otter. These are difficult animals to capture as they never stop moving.
Photo taken at Canberras Zoo back in 2006 of Otters, they are just as curious as Meerkats and keen to greet you.
For my good friend RDO… I am thrilled you are here~ I name this after you Nikon D60 55/200 / My Garden, Ct. 2008
I will donate 100% of proceeds from the sales of this image to The Wildlife Trusts Otters have long, slim bodies and relatively short limbs, with webbed paws. Most have sharp claws on their feet, and all have long muscular tails. They have a very soft underfur which is protected by their outer layer of long guard hair. This traps a layer of air, and keeps them dry and warm under water. Most otters have fish as the primary item in their diet, supplemented by frogs, crayfish and crabs. Some are expert at opening shellfish, and others will take any available small mammals or birds. Otters are playful animals, for example sliding repeatedly down snowy slopes, apparently from sheer enjoyment. “Pebble Juggling !” was featured in Funny Kritters “Pebble Juggling !” was featured in Art 4 Charity “Pebble Juggling !” was featured in All Soft and Cuddlies !!

It saddens me when I come to the end of a series I have enjoyed compiling but unfortunately this is the thirteenth and the last one in my London Zoo series which I hope you have enjoyed. I wanted to end this series with my favourite shot: a full face photograph of the beautiful Asian Small Clawed Otter. They really are such beautiful creatures and I just adore them.

..as you can see Otters are very playful and inquisitive creatures they live in a holt on the riverbank., they need to be protected as they are an endangered species and a very rare sight in the wild these days. ...another in my ‘Riverbank’ series inspired by the book/poem Tales of the Riverbank by Alice Oswald. ...Riverfolk ...a first digital experimental creation using Otters on a surreal setting…took a photo of the sky+colour altered it fractaliused it added the Otters/fish/ripples/graphics/trees/tooka photo of a log floating by on the river added that then lighting effects&generally tweaked all round…. / Save the Otters .....
