Did you know that young otters, just like humans, have to learn how to swim first? Animal keeper Shani Baumgartner was able to capture the scene on video.
And did you know that otters are in mating season 365 days a year?
The Wildnispark Zurich Foundation participates in the European conservation breeding program for otters. The goal is to preserve the genetic diversity of the otter, which was once extinct in Switzerland.
