The Belize Zoo's Newest Living Room | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

The Belize Zoo has created a really nice living room for Lizzie the Neotropical River Otter.  The rescued 'water dog' has a new pond to play in.  

 

"Come see the newest animal on display at the Zoo, Lizzie the Neotropical River Otter!!  Lizzie has been a resident of the Zoo for well over a year, living behind the scenes, after being rescued as a young orphan last January.  She finally has a 5 star home out in the main, and loves every inch of her fabulous new pond.  There is very little data on Lizzie's species, locally called the "water dog," but from observing and interacting with her for so long, we can tell that otters are quick, intelligent, astoundingly energetic little carnivores, who LOVE attention and company."
