In the wild, hunt food by using their vibrissae to detect movements of prey in the water. They use their forepaws to locate and capture items rather than their mouth. To recreate that behavior, animal care staff at SeaWorld San Antonio acutally catches fish from lake where the ski stadium is located and bring the live fish to animal care where they are prepared to be brought to otter exhibit. For the otters on exhibit, the live fish in their exhibit is not only a form of a feeding session performed by their caretakers, but, it is also an enrichment session for them too. Filmed: August 11th, 2010 at SeaWorld San Antonio. This video can be used for any purpose expect for anti-captivity campaigns of any kind.

  • If your are training it is a good idea to start with a large food item first. They are much more responsive afterwards to training.
