Welcome! This page is dedicated to my enthusiasm for otters. I’ve traveled across the USA and always made an effort to visit the zoos that host otters.

Below you will find my collection of videos and photos documenting my search for otters.

I hope you enjoy 🙂

Congrats on making it to the end! This last photo has a special place in my heart. I took it as a young child while visiting the Columbus zoo for the first time.

I recall my mother insisting that the otters were moving too fast for my disposable camera. Well, low and behold, just at the edge of the shadow I captured an otter!

This ‘challenge’ from my mother led to a lifelong appreciation and love of all otters; from the tiny Asian small clawed otter to the giant river otters of South America.
