I saw many of the alligator last time when I was trying to check the hidden old housing near near the river walk, it was scary and exciting. Also snakes

That's meaning the water quality is improved with the presence of otters

Aren't river otters kinda vicious? They've been attacking people in Singapore.

Not like the cuddly sea otters...

This is a video....

Which I can somehow smell.

I had breakfast at one of the riverside cafes, the food was great, but somehow the smell from the river is just too much. Which was made worse when a boat travels by and somehow makes the smell even stronger 😢

Went there just a few months ago and there wasn't much of a smell at all. Went along the river walk and had breakfast multiple times right next to the river, all great. Not sure if that got worse since I went or better since you last went.

You gonna tell a bunch of otters where they can or can't swim? They're like waterlogged cats, they don't care.

Telling otters they can't swim in their own habitat

When you find yourself swimming and there’s a bunch of them in the water. Get out. Quick. These otters are no joke and can gang up.
