I'll tell you something right now. Those damn things will bite you right on the face...Then what? Dublin, New York, Amsterdam....Don't matter. When they are taking skin from your butt to put on your face bacause of a rogue otter, you'll remember this post.

@itowedin Really? Jesus. I never thought they were vicious creatures. Do you've experience dealing with them?

[itowedin]

@rockandrollkevin No...I don't know the first thing about them. I just wanted to make a butt-to-face joke.

I'm wondering what he appears to be catching and eating: something small and chewy - but worth it - by the looks of things! Great close-ups.

Can it be that the Otters escaped from the zoo? Don't know if Otters have ever lived in Ireland in wildlife.

@artfantasies........ Ireland has one of the largest populations of wild Otters in Europe and Dublin City has the largest population of wild Otter of any European City.The waterways are rich in animal and plant life.

haha, it's almost as if it's playing for the camera, knowing it's being filmed.
