Otter Creek
Otter Creek is home to three North American River Otters: Arthur and Fisher. This aquatic exhibit mimics a Texas river bed, the natural habitat of these highly intelligent mammals.
With realistic plants and scenery, several swimming areas, and even a slide, these otters have every opportunity to get wet and wild. They can be seen from multiple perspectives, whether performing their graceful underwater maneuvers or just napping in the sun after a long swim.
Our trainers interact with our otters and provide them with enrichment to keep them physically and psychologically healthy. Devices like puzzles, palm fronds, coconuts, and Frisbees encourage the otters’ natural behaviors and give Arthur and Fisher a chance to explore their environment, solve problems, and make decisions. This enrichment is vital to engage these smart and active otters both mentally and physically.
