SNEAKY OTTER

A young otter wades through a lake with his eyes set on an older rival’s fish. But the hungry pup’s mission to steal the catch is cut short when he is waved away by the larger otter. The giant river otters, a breed of otter native to South America and the largest in the world, were photographed by Morten Ross during a trip to the Peruvian Amazon. The 49-year-old IT service manager observed the animals at the Amazon Research and Conservation Centre in Soledad, Peru
