Asian Short Clawed Otters
Eric and Pumpkin, the Asian Short Clawed Otters are resident here at Scarborough SEA LIFE Sanctuary.
They love to play about with magnets, pulling them apart over and over again. Eric loves eating trout, but this is a special treat, so he’s only allowed it on special occasions.
When Otters are born, they weigh around 50 g, are toothless, practically immobile and their eyes are still closed!

Plenty more fish?
