:star: Prints Available! :star:

The family of otters were agitated. They rushed back and forth, in and out of the small pool of water they were provided, making a racket of chirping noises that almost matched the loud chatter of the crowd outside their enclosure. Then the father of the family stared back at the tourists, glaring with either curiosity or anger. I tried to look at the otter and read what he’s thinking. We look in awe at the animals in aquariums and zoos, wondering about them, but who is really the exhibit? The animals or us? We love to watch animals play and act, and we put them in enclosed areas to contain and display it, but it makes sense that animals would take pleasure in watching us as well. All in all, I think the curiosity is mutual.

:la: Yayyy! I need to buy prints of my own stuff so I can have them for festivals. LOL otters can look real crazy! They have those big brown eyes and cute little elongated faces. They're so hyper! :lol:

Aaah, I see! They'll surely be snatched away from you instantly, then! ;)
Yes, it seems like otters can never stand still for a second! They surely have to be energetic, otherwise they'd never catch any fish!
