Everyone do yourself a favour and watch Otter Dynasty, one of the best and funniest television programs
I’ve seen in ages. Telling a melodrama about succession and warring factions using the clans of smooth coated otters in Singapore. It is beautiful.

Smooth coated otters are fish specialists. They live in groups made up of a breeding pair and kids from previous years, though unlike other otters they will also hunt in groups. They are found from India- East across south Asia, and each group maintains their own territory.
