Efficient Fisher

An otter putting on a display of how efficient of a fisher it is.

 

This otter spent well over two hours feeding through this opening in the ice. The skill it exhibited was quite apparent as it often surfaced with more than one fish. In this photo, notice that it has a fish in its mouth, and two more actively flopping on the ice prior to being devoured.

 

Lamar River, Yellowstone National Park.
