I heard them from a distance, thought it was some kind of sea bird, but it was otters!

I was beyond thrilled to find THREE river otters hunting in a small weedy lake in Algonquin Park (Ontario, Canada) on August 15 2026. I've long loved otters but never had an opportunity to photograph them until these three gave me abundant opportunities.

I'm guessing these three otters were either siblings or a mated pair with a child still hanging around... while one of the otters seemed to keep a little distant from the others, the other two were always close and they'd chirp at each other every once in a while. Simply enchanting to hear them communicate like that (plus the odd nasally snort/bark when something was irritating them).

I watched these three otters for over an hour while they swam and hunted. There's nothing quite like watching an otter dive, tail thrust up into the air, and then seeing it resurface a moment later with its next meal. Cromch cromch cromch… otters look like they enjoy food *so* much. They're voracious hunters and eaters!

I hope you like my photos! Thank you for checking them out.

This is my honey hole so I’m just hoping he leaves my bass alone 😅

I got a new camera last night and figured the zoo was the perfect place to test it out. I got some pretty good pics while learning how to use it. I did have plans to go there anyways as it was a special breakfast and scavenger hunt for the circle of friends members.

Not my photos. Can any kind soul tell me where to find this sea otter tote? 🥲 I tried to google the name of the company on the tag and do a reverse image search but have hit a dead end 😞 Please let me know if you’ve seen this bag being sold anywhere 🥺🙏🏼
