Information about the picture

Walking through the zoo with zoo-photographer Rob Doolaard was a very good learning experience...

He learned us (a group of about 20 people) to use the Manual-mode... how to get the best result out of that :) This is one of the first photos I made after he told me how to photograph that way...

Some information on the Oriental Small-clawed Otter

The Oriental Small-clawed Otter, Aonyx cinerea also known as Asian Small-clawed Otter is the smallest otter in the world.

The Oriental Small-clawed Otter is found in mangrove swamps and freshwater wetlands of Bangladesh, southern India, China, Taiwan, Indochina, Peninsular Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines,preferring to live near water.

The full grown otters measure approximately 0.9m from nose to tail tip, and can weigh up to 5kg.They feed on fish, frogs, crabs, crayfish and shellfish.

These otters are especially distinct for their forepaws, as the claws do not extend above the fleshy end pads of their toes and fingers. These attributes give them human-like proficiency and coordination to the point which they can use their paws to feed on mollusks, crabs and other small aquatic animals.

The Oriental Small-clawed Otter lives in extended family groups with only the alpha pair breeding and previous offspring helping to raise the young.
