Smooth-coated Otter Spotting

The take

Smooth-coated otters turn up most often at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and Gardens by the Bay. Keep your distance, and don't chase or feed them. An otter family bounding across the path is the best surprise a park walk can give you.

Good to know

Watch from a distance, keep your voice down and leave the flash off

Keep pets on a tight leash so they don't chase the otters

Feeding wildlife is prohibited under the Wildlife Act

Call the Animal Response Centre on 1800-476-1600 for an otter that is injured, distressed or trapped

Finding it: Smooth-coated otters are regularly seen on the island's waterways, including Sungei Buloh, the Botanic Gardens and Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park.
