North American otters are fast, agile swimmers propelling themselves through the water by kicking webbed rear feet and moving their bodies from side to side, like a snake. Even though they can see underwater they have whiskers that help them locate prey when the water is murky. Their diet consists mainly of non-game fish, crayfish, insects and small mammals. In this graceful sculpture the artist captures a “dance” of two otters as they go after a fish.
