Energetic, highly social and new to the zoo, the smallest otter species in the world will teach visitors about the essential diversity of animals and habitats that healthy forests need. With 12 different vocalizations, the otters' musicality will delight and inspire as they fish, groom, tumble over each other and cavort in their marsh or sandy beach.
