The name Kalila is just perfect! Hali, we had the pleasure of meeting you, Sweet Otter, and Kalila last month during your presentation on Enrichment Day. Everyone enjoyed watching the interaction between you and the otters while you were feeding them chunks of fish. Little Kalila fetched a chunk, swam over to dry land and was mouthing it, but did not eat it. The highlight was when you placed chunks of fish in a large empty water bottle. It was amazing how quickly Sweet Otter retrieved them with her front paw, literally putting her front leg in the bottle, tipping it and fetching the pieces of fish. What a lot of fun to watch! It was quite surprising to see how the otters never missed one piece of fish scattered throughout the pool. Little Kalila surprised us with how well she kept up with her mom during the " fishing expedition”. We can't wait to meet the whole family. P.S. Kalila at three months old sounds like a sweet little " bird” :-) Hi Hali – Thanks for the entertaining update on Sweet Otter, Kalila and Herman. The name Kalila is just perfect!

It was quite surprising to see how the otters never missed one piece of fish scattered throughout the pool. Little Kalila surprised us with how well she kept up with her mom during the ” fishing expedition”.

We can’t wait to meet the whole family.

P.S. Kalila at three months old sounds like a sweet little ” bird” :-)

Sounds like Kalila is leading quite the Otter life. Look forward to hearing more tales about the intact family unit. What great news, and a great and appropriate name.

Shouldn't zoos provide animals with a mate so they may have an enriched life? National Zoo has five male otters, no females.
