A Smooth-coated otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) cub eats fish caught by one of its parents on a concrete river bank, Singapore
One of a series of images documenting a morning in the life of a family of Smooth-coated otters in Singapore. These wild otters live in a mangrove forest on the coast. The family consisted of adults and cubs. The images explore the parenting behaviour of the otters. All the adult family members participate in hunting fish together. Sometimes they deliver the fish to their young, other times they need to feed too and are reluctant to relinquish the fish to the young cubs who beg for food.
