Otters Chase Butterfly
01/25/2012
The video below is totally awesome. It shows a group of Asian short-clawed otters in a zoo having some fun chasing a butterfly around their enclosure.
What's odd about it to me is the synchronicity that the otters show as they cavort in pursuit of the fleeting insect. Otters live in family groups but such groups aren't like a flock of birds or school of fish that move in unison almost as one living thing.
Yet in this video, they might as well be! Like I said, awesome.
Nothing is cuter than an otter!

Help protect otters and other wildlife. Send a message to the Obama Administration, urging them to act now to restore Clean Water Act protections to small streams and wetlands.
