DUK10130793_004
FEATURE - Orang Utans freunden sich mit Ottern an
An unlikely friendship has formed at the Pairi Daiza Zoo in Brugelette, Belgium between a family of Orangutans and visiting otters.
The orangutans and otters first met when the staff at in Brugelette ran the otters’ river through the orangutans’ enclosure. Ever since, a wholesome and dare we say magical bond formed between the two species.
The otter-orangutan enclosure in Pairi Daiza houses an orangutan family of three: 24-year-old ‘daddy’ Ujian, 15-year-old ‘mummy’ Sari, and Berani, their four-year-old son, who arrived at the zoo back in 2017.
Mathieu Goedefroy, spokesperson for the zoo, explains:
“The presence of a family of Asian small-clawed otters in their territories is not a coincidence - two factors are very important for the wellbeing of an animal in captivity: the size of his enclosure, but also the quality of his enclosure.
“This means that an animal – and this is even more the case of orangutans, with whom humans share 97% of their DNA – must be entertained, occupied, challenged and kept busy mentally, emotionally and physically at all times.
“For this, we have a very strong ‘enrichment’ program for our orangutans, where our keepers entertain them all day long with mind games, riddles, puzzles, and other stuff to train their intelligence.
One of the ‘enrichments’ is to have different animal species together, so they can interact - that’s why we chose to let an otter family live in the river that runs through the orangutan territory.
“The otters really enjoy getting out of the water on the orangutan island to go and play with their big, furry friends.
“Especially baby Berani and daddy Ujian have developed a very special band with their neighbours; It makes life more fun and interesting for both animal species, which makes it a very successful experiment.”

A year in the life of an otter family, Singapore - 2017
*Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/tu8d
British photographer Tim Plowden lives in a wild corner of Singapore that is also called home by a family of smooth-coated otters. The photographer has been keeping track of the adorable animals throughout 2017 as they have successfully raised a clutch six cubs. Their territory stretches along several miles of coastline, a network of mangrove rivers as well as urbanised sections of river and parkland. And Tim isn't the only person to be enchanted by the furry family with many locals having also taken them to heart. Tim comments: ?The playfulness of the cubs is enchanting and I love how strong their family bonds are. They always look out for each other and if they are apart for any length of time they greet each other with such exuberance it makes you appreciate just how close their family ties really are".

A frail old Singaporean man taking his slow-paced daily walk is no threat to a family of 12 otters who have emerged from the mangrove river to scent mark the footpath on their way to hunting fish in the park pond. A cross section of Sinapore's younger generations watch this unique sight from a footbridge in the late afternoon sun. Otters will typically flee when anyone approaches, they are especially wary of curious young children who love to get close to these popular animals! Singapore's Smooth Coated Otter population has grown and expanded into urban areas in the past few years. You can tell when there are otters about by the small crowd of locals gathered at bridges to take videos with their smart phones!

*Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/tu8d
British photographer Tim Plowden lives in a wild corner of Singapore that is also called home by a family of smooth-coated otters. The photographer has been keeping track of the adorable animals throughout 2017 as they have successfully raised a clutch six cubs. Their territory stretches along several miles of coastline, a network of mangrove rivers as well as urbanised sections of river and parkland. And Tim isn't the only person to be enchanted by the furry family with many locals having also taken them to heart. Tim comments: ?The playfulness of the cubs is enchanting and I love how strong their family bonds are. They always look out for each other and if they are apart for any length of time they greet each other with such exuberance it makes you appreciate just how close their family ties really are".

Otters with a welcome hamper
Otters arrive at new home at Whipsnade Zoo, Bedfordshire, Britain - 09 Feb 2016
A boisterous bunch of otters received a special welcome hamper from their keepers today, having just moved in to their new home at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo. Zookeepers prepared a hamper full of the otters' favourite fishy treats to celebrate the arrival of three female Asian small-clawed otters called Blaze, Noodle and Drumstick. They join two male otters, Fattie, so named for his huge appetite, and Chopstick, who have lived at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo since 2005, to form a new social group.
Senior Keeper Alex Pinnell said: "Blaze, Noodle and Drumstick are a very excitable trio, and they're already keeping the male otters on their toes. All five have settled well into the new social group, so we thought we'd help them celebrate with a housewarming hamper.

Otter's head pokes out of the water after it swims away from a playfight with its sibling.

Not usually spotted during daylight hours these juvenile otters make a spectacle of themselves as they play-fight in a river in Norfolk.
Spotted by British wildlife photographer Luke Massey after their screeching and splashing caught his attention.
Luke said: "Otters are one of the most difficult species I have ever tried to photograph, not only being hard to see they are incredibly shy so once spotted you have to be very stealthy."
He believes the otters were raised on the river and had recently been pushed out of their den by their mother as she may have mated again or given birth to cubs.
"The otters were chasing each other along the banks then jumping in to the water to continue play-fighting, it was really amusing to watch."
Over the past 30 years otters have fought their way back from extinction after they were nearly wiped out by pesticides and a dwindling food supply.
Now after one of nature's most remarkable comebacks, they are spotted in every English county.
