EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two European otters, also known as Lutra lutra, engaging in a playful interaction. Native to Europe but also found in parts of Asia and Africa, these charismatic creatures are well-known for their love of water and fishy diet. In this image, they can be seen frolicking on lush green grass, rolling around with pure joy. European otters typically inhabit freshwater areas and construct their nests called holts along the banks. Their sleek bodies and webbed feet make them excellent swimmers, allowing them to gracefully navigate through rivers and lakes in search of food. The duo captured here perfectly exemplifies the fun-loving nature of these mustelids. With their mischievous expressions and synchronized movements, it is evident that playtime is an essential part of their lives. This delightful scene not only highlights the biological aspect of their behavior but also showcases the strong bond between these carnivorous animals. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the beauty found within our natural world. The European otter's presence serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling human activities, there exists a realm where wildlife thrives harmoniously – a testament to the wonders of our planet's diverse fauna.
