An amazing juggling otter at Dudley Zoological Gardens, West Midlands,<br />UK. The playful creatures at the zoo have been keeping visitors<br />entertained by juggling with pebbles or ball-shaped pieces of carrot<br />as they show off their dexterity. The 13 Asiatic short-clawed otters<br />are not trained to put on an act -- but the juggling is good practice<br />for handling slippery customers, in the shape of the fish they like to<br />eat. Their tiny claws are smaller than those of other otters and<br />enhance their manual dexterity in dealing with their prey. They are<br />semi-aquatic mammals and their zoo enclosure includes a pool.
