Today I went to my zoo class on otters.  We learned all about otters.  Their fur is waterproof and they have webbed feet and slender bodies.  They’re great swimmers!  We played a game where we pretended to be otters and had to collect food and try to survive.  I collected 58 of the 60 lbs an adult otter needs to survive for one month in the winter.  We also got to visit the river otter at the zoo and feed her carrots.  She balanced a carrot on her head, because her mouth was full, and swam to shore.  Nancy, my zoo teacher, said the trainers taught her how to do that.  It was really funny.
