Otter!
So I was wandering around Mansfield (Massachusetts) yesterday, after a busy afternoon, and I wanted to find some ducks to hang out with. Mansfield isn’t like, *urban*, but it has a lot of stores and houses and so on, and its public park is basically surrounded by street and not very large. The map implies it is larger and more accessible than it was, so I grumped at it and followed the river past the police station, and found a much nicer and more secluded pond with some public access, but no ducks. I was enjoying the more secluded nature of it when I saw an *otter*!
Otter! Yay! I have, you see, never seen an otter in the wild. In aquariums, yes. In the wild, no. I assume it was a river otter, because this was like 40 miles from any shoreline, but I didn’t get an up close look, so I suppose it *could* have been a very lost sea otter.
Anyway. So I took some pictures, enjoyed it, lost track of it, and went around to the other side of the pond to see if I could regain track of it, but it was thoroughly unfindable. Though also thoroughly awesome.
They have really long tails. And breathe huffily pretty loudly.
