Otto and the Otters

Welcome to the world!
I am a bit of a nature lover, so this story delighted me. Especially the timing...

Pretty cute! Photo from: Auckland Zoo

The newest addition to the Auckland Zoo family, the otter pups made their first public appearance today. The two male Asian small-clawed otters are the first born pups of Jana and Juno. I saw them on 3 news tonight shortly after I found about the arrival of Mr and Mrs $1 pies newest family member!

Did you know... that otters mate for life and that otters don't develop their waterproof coat for three months?

Ahhh, new life in the new year. Don't you love it?
Well done to the Otters, and Mr and Mrs $1 Pies!
