An otter running along the beach at East Coast Park.

Saw it this morning, thought it was a dog at first.

Really must start carrying a camera.

Still, the fact you see interesting stuff in two weeks straight shows that you have higher probability than the rest of us.

So the hitchhiker you saw two weeks ago was really the otter you saw jogging along East Coast Parkway today? :???: :???: :???: :???: :???:

The otter was perhaps patrolling the waterline looking for any washed up dead fish... ?

There are a family of otters that we often see when Dragon Boat training at the weekend along the Kallang River in the reservoir created by the Marina Bay Barrage.

Otters have discovered that some of the places in Singapore have Koi ponds.
