EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a smooth otter (Lutra perspicillata) engages in an unusual interaction with visitors at the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary in Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia. The otter, a wild and typically elusive aquatic mammal, seems to have been tamed, as it playfully interacts with the people surrounding it. The otter's sleek, golden fur shines in the sunlight, and its expressive face is adorned with a mischievous grin as it opens its mouth wide, revealing its sharp teeth. The Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary, established in 1975, is a refuge for several endangered primate species, including the proboscis monkey, which is the sanctuary's namesake. However, this image showcases an unexpected resident, the smooth otter, which is not native to the area but has been rescued and rehabilitated by the sanctuary. The smooth otter is a marine mammal, native to the rivers, lakes, and swamps of Southeast Asia. They are known for their agility and grace in water, and their ability to use tools to catch their prey. In this image, the otter's wild nature is momentarily suspended, as it enjoys the company of its human visitors. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and diversity of the wildlife in Borneo, and the important role that sanctuaries like Labuk Bay play in preserving and protecting endangered species. The smooth otter's playful interaction with the visitors serves as a reminder of the unique bonds that can be formed between humans and animals, even those that are typically considered wild and untamable.
