There is a lot happening on OtterCam at the moment so I hope you won't mind some more otter videos. They are longer than usual but worth seeing. In the first one the mother otter came up the bank to leave some spraint but the cubs weren't far behind. They were in and out of the water a couple of times before following her. They are constantly curious and seem to enjoy exploring their world.
Five minutes later the mother otter was back for some me time. She doesn't get much peace because one cub came out to join her so she got back in. Seconds later she was back out, followed again by one of the cubs.
How big is an otter? This composite with the dog otter will give you some idea - pictures taken two hours apart so he wasn't running past me! The female is a bit smaller and the cubs are smaller still.
Wonderful photos, videos and commentary Chris. Was very helpful to get an idea of the size of the dog otter compared to your legs.
