12/21/2008: "The Swans & Ducks Otter Be Careful"

The river otter is related to the cute little otters bobbing in the water on their backs while eating a clam (or whatever), but their northern cousins are meat eaters that are aggressive fish and bird eaters, and whatever cuteness they may possess is not what is noteworthy if you are ever unlucky enough to have one move in under your house.

All that aside, it is a great picture, and the swans and ducks are not unaware of their furry little friend and his intentions.
