Otters at the NC Ft Fisher Aquarium

Tweet

After lunch today, Son2 and I visited the Ft Fisher Aquarium. We got in for free because K and I are members, and Son2 and GF are members of the NC Zoo. The zoo and aquariums let each other's members in free of charge. Son2 volunteered at the aquarium when he was in high school. I used to visit each time he had volunteer duty because I drove him down here to the island. It had been several years for both of us. The most exciting change since our last visit was the Otter Exhibit. We knew about the exhibit but were surprised to learn the otters were not NC otters but were small-clawed Asian Otters. They are endangered and the NC Aquarium is part of a species survival program to save them. These otters are smaller than river otters and very cute. I posted pictures on the River Sailor Instagram and a photo of the poster explaining their status. Do you like otters? If you don't, then you otta.
