Otter eating

Two postings in a row about otters—now that is unusual.

In the first, I mentioned the otter’s use of a dock for its grooming, but allowed that it also used docks for eating. Two days later, the otter returned to substantiate my point. It brought along a fish and ate it on the same dock.

Unfortunately, the otter kept her back to me most of the time. Yet, here are three pictures of the visit.

The otter arrives on the dock with a fish. By the time I spotted it, fish remnants are held between the paws. 

These were quickly lifted to dangle from the mouth.

Sated, the otter looks around and prepares to depart, but leaves fish debris around the area.
