Taken from a VHS 1989 tape.
I cut off all sound.
Nothing special.
This otter in an everglades canal never let on if he knew we were there.

Very cool Bill, otters are pretty special critters to see in the wild. I've seen numerous otters from the lower 48, and Amazon River otters too, but I've never gotten photo one of any of them and regret it to no end. Really neat to see your footage from years gone by.

That's awesome for how long I have lived in Florida, around the glades I have yet seen one in the wild, I find them so funny and amazing.

I think I recognize the canal... was this off of Crome south of 41?

Hey, Dave,
You're right. It used to be an unofficial shooting range.
I think the ENP patrols more heavily it now.
