The otter's spends most of his time in the seaweed
they Anchor there feet to the seaweed and fall asleep that way it stops them floating out to sea.

Most times when i have seen them on wildlife progs they are usually swimming in the Kelp, to anchor themselves to the Kelp shows you how intelligent they are

great capture, do you watch them often? although i have seen them on TV, books etc, i am yet to have seen one in the wild and i think it's wonderful that you have captured him in his natural environment.

Fantastic - an animal I would love to see wild one day. Have seen many of our European Otters, but would love to see one of these <3 I like the seaweed too - animal in its element!
