We have three large ponds and 1 smaller one here in my neighborhood.
I think I told you about a neighbor seeing an otter in the big pond in the back of our neighborhood a few weeks ago. And I may have put a link to information about river otters in South Carolina, but I can’t remember if I did or if I just sent the link to my son after telling him about it, and I don’t see a post where I might have talked about otters in our area.
Well! This neighbor saw an otter again–this time in our front pond. And she got a great video before it “took off.”
The video is absolutely adorable when the playful otter comes toward my neighbor (who had two dogs with her) and comes out onto the bank–about halfway through the video, which is a little over 2 minutes. The beginning is where my neighbor is training the camera on the right side of the pond, and the otter comes, finally, from the left.
And here’s more info on river otters in South Carolina.
Enjoy!

They are so cute, but I’ve read they are very mean. I always love having critters around. Thanks for sharing.
