Otter of the month - with baby Heres an English otter with her little bubba in her mouth..aaww


Dolphin at Monkey Mia Monkey Mia's dolphins are famous, and interacting with them was pretty amazing. Dolphins have been coming to the beach since the 60s, and it's now a carefully managed tourist attraction. They only feed a small number of adult dolphins, to ensure that the juvenile dolphins learn to hunt, and they limit the food so that the dolphins still have to hunt in order to get enough to eat.

Otter of the week
I must apologise for not providing a weekly otter for so long! Today, i give you the marine otter. They live along the coast on Chile and Peru, and are seldom seen. They're about a metre long, and nest on land but hunt at sea. This site has info and pictures: http://tiny.cc/marineotter
Has anyone seen them in the wild? I'd love some travel tips. Apparently, local fishermen are prepared to act as guides - does anyone have tips?

Healesville Sanctuary
A friend is in town (Melbourne, Aus) from the US and wants to see "weird animals". The best place i can think of to get up close to critters is Healesville Sanctuary: http://www.zoo.org.au/HealesvilleSanctuary. And of course, she can spot possums, galahs, cockatoos and the odd spoonbill in St Kilda. Anyone else have favourite places for foreigners to see wildlife?
