A Raft of Otters Playfully Compete For Possession of a Fish Filled Pumpkin Floating in the Water

To celebrate the autumn season, caretakers at the Oregon Zoo hollowed out a pumpkin, filled it with fish and tossed into the otter pool. Chaos ensued almost immediately as the resident raft of otters adorably competed for possession of the yummy Halloween bounty.

We tossed a pumpkin stuffed with fish into the water, and it was otter chaos.

Just a 9 days earlier, one of the otter mums was busy teaching her baby how to swim.
