#PlanYourVisit Joburg Zoo's African Clawless Otter is the most intelligent animal with good problem solving skills and very playful. He was once given a frozen pigeon as a threat. He could not stand how cold it was, he took few minutes to take it to the pool to defrost it. From time to time he will take his green kennel from the night room into the dam. It still remains a mystery what he does with it in the water. | The Johannesburg Zoo

This World Otter Day we are celebrating one of Odzala-Kokoua National Park’s most secretive residents, the Congo clawless otter (Aonyx congicus). Although it is well known that the species does occur in Odzala, individuals such as this one, are so rarely seen that we have almost no information on the park’s resident population. Congo clawless otters are just one of thousands of species residing in Odzala’s dense rainforest. Located in the heart of the Congo Basin, Odzala’s 13,487 km2 landscape i

OTTERLY ADORABLE UPDATE! A few weeks ago, we introduced you to this African clawless otter (Aonyx capensis) who was kept illegally as a pet, and confiscated by the local SPCA. While in captivity, this little otter cub was fed the incorrect diet. During the past few weeks, it was critical for us to ensure that we provided her with the right nutrition to ensure that she would grow and meet all the necessary developmental milestones. We asked you to assist us, with our #OneMeal campaign, which help

Celebrating World Otter Day! 🦦 These intriguing animals, celebrated for their lively demeanor and various species, truly captivate our attention. Among them, the African clawless otter (or Cape clawless otter) ranks as the second largest species of freshwater otters. Throughout their days, they engage in swimming and hunting for food. Their tails aid in maintaining balance while walking or sitting upright, as well as providing propulsion in the water. Their meals mainly include crabs, frogs, fi

A rare sighting...a family of Cape clawless otters along the Sabi River, one of the Kruger’s most playful and elusive residents! They’re called clawless because their front paws lack claws, allowing them to use their incredibly sensitive fingers to feel for prey like crabs, frogs, and fish beneath rocks and reeds. Mostly active at dawn and dusk, sightings like this are always a special treat. More than just a game drive. Jock Safari Lodge. Legendary experiences! #untamed #untouched #unforgettabl

Cape clawless otters occur in the river systems in the reserve. They are the second largest freshwater otter and their diet consists of fish, crabs and worms. They use their hands to forage for food and are active hunters. They are often shy and retiring but if you sit quietly they may grace you with a fantastic experience like guide Lloyd recorded. Thanks Lloyd, amazing video! #otter #special #funny #nature #wildlife #safari #holiday #southafrica #kariegagamereserve | Kariega Game Reserve

OTTER CAM: Our African clawless otter (Aonyx capensis) patients are growing fast! With a variety of food items to snack on, various natural items to explore (like seed pods, stones, and cuttlefish shells to name a few!) our otters are thriving. We managed to capture some footage of them swimming and playing. Otter spend much time in water, swimming and catching food. This is then followed with a rub down from river sand and grasses to dry themselves off. BANK TRANSFER: Johannesburg Wildlife NPC

Fun Fact: Did you know Cape clawless otters have a scent marking dance? 💃✨ Also known as the "scat dance," this quirky behaviour involves a little prance, tail lift, and… well, you know the rest! 😄 Territories are marked using a pair of anal glands which secrete a scent unique to each otter. These scents allow otters to each claim a territory. 🌊🐾 #OtterFacts #TwoOceansAquarium #CapeClawlessOtters #ScentDance #AnimalBehavior | Two Oceans Aquarium
