OTTER-LY LOVELY: Some North American river otters were seen playing around with frozen "hearts" at the Milwaukee County Zoo in Wisconsin on February 1. The zoo said the hearts were filled with fish and turned red with animal-safe food coloring. The zoo also added that the otters are intelligent, and they know to push the ice into the water so it thaws faster, and they can get the fish inside sooner. https://ktvo.com/ | KTVO

OTTERS ESCAPE FROM ZOO! Two river otters, Louie and Ophelia, weaseled their way out of their Wisconsin zoo enclosure last week during a winter storm, appearing on security camera footage cavorting across the snow, as the search continued Tuesday.🦦 Footage released by the zoo shows an otter leaving the stoop of a building and launching itself into a belly slide on the snow, its forepaws snapping to its side, nose leading the way and back legs thrusting for an extra boost. 🎥: New Zoo & Adventure
