Happy World Otter Day! Our river otters Sugar and Wesley are otterly enjoying this holiday! An easy way to tell these two apart is by their signature swimming moves. Wesley loves to do backflips while Sugar is known for her perfect figure 8 moves. Their average dives last from 1-2 minutes, but during extreme dives they can stay underwater for 4-6 minutes. Their sensitive whiskers help them detect prey underwater. | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

This makes otters especially susceptible to pollutants and plastics that end up in these rivers, ponds, swamps, etc. Single-use plastics have a knack for finding their way into streams and canals, breaking down into microplastics, and being consumed by fish. Who loves fish? Otters! This is another great reason to ditch (recycle) the case of pl
