Unexpectedly spotted this Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) this morning (3 June 2025) on the way to work at one-North: Fusionpolis North Park. It sniffed at some scat on the walkway before moving off.

These are handphone photos, so not very sharp.

A Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 15 Dec 2024. It was sandbathing on the path, then moved behind the shelter in the background for some privacy. There, I managed to make eye contact with it.

Spotted a member of one Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) family near the bridge over the Pandan River, Singapore, on May 15, 2019. It was busy with its meal and wasn't bothered with the people gawking at it eating.

A Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) family reappeared at the Pandan River, Singapore, looking for food. Getting shots of them in the water is a bit of a challenge as they move about and dive. But I got lucky and this fellow popped up in front of me and gave me time to take a shot. Taken in the morning on 12 April, 2019.

Spotted a family of Smooth-coated Otters (Lutrogale perspicillata) at Pandan River, Singapore, on 5 March 2019. Several had caught fish and having a meal.

I was standing next to them by the side of the river, so this was the closest I've been to them yet. They occasionally gave me a stare, so I didn't stay too long so as not to disturb their meal.

Fun and exciting.
