Description
This charismatic pair of Otters, equally at home in the water and on land, is the smallest of the world’s otters. As well as its size, the Asian short-clawed otter can be distinguished from other otters by its small claws, after which it is named.
These tiny claws, that do not protrude beyond the ends of the fingers, enhance the manual dexterity of this otter as it handles prey. Nor does it have the full webbed feet of other otters, which you may be able to make out, along with the small claws.
The Asian short-clawed otter typically has brown fur with a paler underside, although cream-coloured individuals have also been known.
I have photographed these as part of a fragile earth series that was used for conservation, and thus quite dear to my heart. And proud of the fact quite a few of this series have been widely published.

Amazingly beautiful photoshot my friend, wonderful done.
No wonder your series of images like this were widely published. I've only seen this quality on photo calendars. Just top drawer.
The first thing I noticed is the lack of webbing! How amazing! They are so sturdy in frame and the color is interesting. Danny, you are a top-of-the-line photographer and your wildlife shots are so true to the animals that I feel like I am looking at the real thing and not a photograph (except I don't have to smell them...LOL)
