I was lucky enough to be at the Aquarium at Otter feeding time. The viewing stand is upstairs and was incredibly crowded, even though I did show up a half-hour early for it. It was, however, interesting to see the trainers put the otters through their moves.

More otter pictures and the rest of the Aquarium as well in the Monterey Bay Aquarium Flickr Set. This is the last post in the Monterey Bay Aquarium series.

Another fun to photograph animal at the zoo are the Asian small-clawed otters. Like the red pandas, if you show up too early they’ll be asleep still (once again, the last picture). But if they’re away, they’re probably playing, which makes for good opportunities to photograph.

You can find more otter pictures and other animals in one of my four National Zoo Sets.
