Aaaah......Poor Otter!........sad face!
But a nice,crisp image.

Nice portrait of a lovely animal. Sad story though. I love those little paws. ^_^

Thank you, John and Klas :-) The paws do it for me too - it looks like he's got fingers...

I love otters. If I were and otter ... ROTFL ...

Beautiful image, Si. I like the way you excluded the rest of the animal in order to show more of his, je ne sai quoi, otterhood. Thanks.

However, it looks like Mr Otter is eating some fish. So mourning after his dead beloved did not take his appetite completely away.

I love otters....move over regmar...this fella wants me!!!! LOL. Really cute capture Simon. Poor fella, he can't tell us his heart is broken :(

Thank you all:-) I have to say he didn't seem too heartbroken - his keepers say they have to think up activities (games and puzzles sort of thing) for him to make up for the time he would have been playing with her, but he's doing OK and they're hoping to find him some suitable company soon. Regmar and Mimi - form an orderly queue and no squabbling.... ;-)

Looks like he's had himself a nice swim and now something to eat. Two out of three ain't bad! Great closeup view, Si. I really enjoy animal shots.

It is soo cute. But I am so sorry because he lost his partener. I wish I could help, but I don't know any otters. its little wiskers are so awesome!!!

awww *crys* otters are my favorite animal i wish i could take him in
