海獺也過萬聖節 Halloween Treat for Sea Otters


Happened to be in Monterey Bay Aquarium on Halloween day, got to see the sea otters getting their Halloween treats. The frozen treats came in different size, color, and shape, likely with grounded shell fish in them. I have seen sea otters numerous times, but this is the first time to see them get on solid ground in order to get the treats.   Mostly they tried to get the treat into water so they can handle it, only in one occasion the little guy simply couldn't wait and started chewing right there. Some even knocked the treat on the glass, like the way they knocked shell fish open.  To me this was the most interesting Halloween treats ever.

萬聖節那天剛好去Monterey Bay 水族館,恰巧看到館方正在分發特別的好料給海獺們,大大小小各式冰凍的食物,太概是加了魚貝類在裡面,海獺們忙著一個接一個地吃。
牠們必須到岸上去取食,大都是急著搬進水裡去吃。只有一次看見一隻就在岸上吃將起來。拿到食物像敲貝殼一樣的想敲開,有的居然在展示玻璃上敲。小的容易搬動的食物吃完了,還得費力搬大的。這是我第一次看見海獺到陸地上,拱背長尾,長的還真是一付“獺”相。(照片有些模糊,是透過雙層玻璃,加上水,霧的結果。)
