Otter juggling rocks

When researching different animals and how they communicate and behave I came across the otter.

I found this fun clip of otters playing with rocks - with no benefits other than to amuse themselves!

They have a favourite rock that they can keep for years, which they use to open molluscs and clams as well as for entertainment.

Otters can be social creatures, with different species having different levels of social interaction. Otters are curious; they like to explore, try new things and are very creative. They have a strong social hierarchy within the group.

The rest of my otter research can be found in the portfolio post.
