While visiting a favorite area today, I came upon a troop of river otters.

I’ve seen one or two here before, never this many.

How many can you see?

As each one came down to the pool of fresh water, it performed a brief ritualistic dance, relieved itself, then slipped in for a bath. Each successive otter smelled the ejecta of the prior otter before commencing its own dance.

  1. Amazing video Richard! Their ‘marking’ behavior is quite interesting. Remarkable how they seem to communicate so subtlety that we don’t even notice! Thanks so much for this treat so rarely seen . . .
