The current group of cubs are the most boisterous I have seen, possibly because there are three of them. They are full of curiosity, especially when it comes to trail cameras. Here's what I am up against.
When I set up a camera the last thing I do is clean the lens. Here's the first thing that happens next.
The trail cameras give us a remarkable insight into the otters' lives, something we could never see otherwise. Here is the mother bringing in another fish. The delay between disappearing from view and reappearing with a fish was 18 seconds. She doesn't seem impressed with the cub's manners.
You'd think an otter would be pretty fearless as an apex predator, but not always.
The cubs are already spending less time close to their mother so it is harder to record them all in the frame at the same time, even though they are only about five months old. I'll report back on what they get up to next.
Thanks for these posts. No trail camera is 100% safe unless it’s still in its box.
