 This is Rosie, an Asian Short Clawed Otter, and resident of Longleat.

Asian Short Claws are the smallest of the Otters and live in large social groups. Wonderful characters, but they do keep dashing about . .

for further info on them link.

If I had a big enough garden I would love to have these running about in it - they are great characters and you could happily spend the day watching them :- )

Aww, this is just adorable! And I never thought I'd say that about an otter. WONDERFUL detail and very well presented against the dark background.

Super detail and focus, well done. Rosie looks like a fun animal, otters are usually quite the hams with all their antics, well done!

Perfect, even to the little drops of water in the whiskers.

This is spectacular portrait. The sweet expression, the color on the tip of the nose, the fabulous focus and detail. The light and crop are perfect too. Love it!
