What a fantastic treat it was to spend some time with this North American River Otter. He was spending his partly sunny Friday hunting down minnows at the lake. He was kind enough to pose on a stump for me. Like with most animals vs. human development- habitat is shrinking/they are getting more rare to see. In fact, I've never seen one at the lake and have only been lucky enough to see one previously in my hiking adventures (in Mt. Rainier Nat. Park). They range from 11-30 lbs. and eat mostly aquatic life- fish, turtles, crawfish, etc.
