Triplet of North American river otter pups at Prospect Park Zoo, New York

Three North American river otter pups (*Lontra canadensis*) have made their public debut at the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Prospect Park Zoo. The three otters are all male and were born on February 25, 2014. The pups have yet to be named. “North American river otters are a species whose range includes New York and these three new Brooklynites provide an opportunity for us to educate people about the importance of keeping local waters and ecosystems in good health,” said Denise McClean, Director of the Prospect Park Zoo.
