ANN/THE JAPAN NEWS – Over the weekend, baby Asian short-clawed otters were spotted dashing around with boundless energy in their exhibit at Tokushima Zoo in Tokushima.
The quintuplet pups – three males and two females – measure between 35 and 50 centimetres in length and were born in October last year. This marks a significant moment for the zoo, as it’s the first time in 24 years that this species has successfully bred there.
When the pups appeared with their mother, visitors at the zoo cheered, calling out, “So cute!” and “So small!”
The five followed their mother around and put fallen leaves in their mouths, while visitors took pictures of the adorable little stars.
