A Small Family

Asian small-clawed otters ( Aonyx cinerea).

They are the smallest otters in the world, weighing 2.4-3.8 Kg. Usual litter size is 2-7 & when born they weigh just 50 g. They are playful & social animals & are often found in groups of ca.12. With about 12 different sounds to communicate, including alarm, greeting & mating calls. Alas they are now considered to be officially vulnerable .
