💙🦦 North American river otters are considered a keystone species, which means other species in the same habitat largely depend on the existence of river otters. They are a top predator and their presence also reflects the health of the ecosystem around them. Find river otters, and you will find healthy streams and rivers. 💧👋 See them at American Trail! | Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute

In the future, the keepers can change out the substrate and give the otters something new to poke around. They seem to enjoy the new digs! You may notice the lighter colored otter! That’s Wildcat, our newest otter. She’s still working on integrating into the group, and it’s great to see her progress. | Potawatomi Zoo | Facebook
