Interesting To Know
  • The Asian small-clawed otter is the smallest otter species. Its vestigial claws and webbed feet allow it to quickly capture prey in the mud. These otters are common in zoos because they are active, family-oriented, and vocal. They communicate with one another through loud chirping sounds.
