Always thrilled to spot the otters at Sungei Buloh. This time there were only two adults - a male and a female. These days I hardly hear the otters call to each other. Of late, most of my sightings during the weekends have been by spotting them silently moving along the river.
I believe the female is lactating as her mammary glands were engorged. She may have pups hidden in a den somewhere. After her nap, the proceeded to scent mark and then slip back into the river.

Hello Shirley!
It's Meryl, the otter researcher at NUS - I have contacted you before! You have some really great photos from that trip and it would do the research a great help if you could share the photos with me.
Do email me at uberhyped@gmail.com and check out my website at http://blog.nus.edu.sg/sgotters/.
Thanks!
Wondering whether they are afraid of the crocodiles.
Meryl - I went to your site and will send you an email later on this.
Gardeners - I'm not sure as I haven't seen the two in close proximity. I know the otters will tolerate large water monitors. I've also seen them tug monitors by their tail to try to move them.
