otter having a piece of coconut flesh, i think it knows we find him adorable bc he's making faces at us, "ahhh all gone" | via monamoni Asian small-clawed otter (Aonyx cinereus), fresh green coconut. This is the smallest otter species in the world & is native to the mangrove swamps and freshwater wetlands of South and Southeast Asia.
The "Small Claws": Unlike most other otters, their claws do not extend past the fleshy pads of their toes, and their webbing is only partial. This gives them incredibly sensitive, human-like hands that they use to feel around in mud for food.
Diet: Their dexterous paws are perfect for cracking open crabs, snails, and other hard-shelled mollusks, though they will occasionally snack on fish or fruits.
Social Nature: Highly social, vocal animals live in extended family groups of up to 15; communicate using an extensive vocabulary of at least 12 distinct vocalizations.
