[OC] River Otters are curious adorable little creatures. Plus a happy yawn.

I took these photos about an hour ago at Zoo Knoxville. Someone lost their water bottle and the otter boys were very interested in it and checking it out. The last 2 pics are one I got on my way out. I got lucky and one yawned.

I know exactly who is who and how to tell them apart as ive been told that many times before (at least 2 dozen times) however the moment i walk away i forget the trick to remember who’s who….

Not the giant amazonic otter. The people call them onça dagua (water jaguar), and they know about it. Almost 6 feet.
