A Very Sneaky Otter
This trail cam captured a fascinating sight. Here we can see a sneaky otter making off with something in its mouth. Look a little closer, and you’ll see that the otter is actually carrying a large fish between its teeth. Snatching a such a big fish must have taken some crazy skills from this otter, but it seems like he managed to get away with it and can enjoy a big meal.

Otters are quite smart when it comes to hunting. They use their vibrissae to help detect movements of prey in the water. Once they’ve located their prey, they quickly catch the prey with their teeth. Large otters usually hold their prey in their paws while eating it and can easily eat small fishes in the water, saving larger prey for land.
