Happy #WorldOtterDay! Did you know that otters are one of the most playful animals in the world? They love to slide off embankments into the water, wrestle, chase their tails & other fun antics. They are also very curious and like to investigate new things!http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/animals-and-attractions/animals/oriental-short-clawed-otter/
