Did you know that you can be an otter spotter in Florida? 🦦

If you see one of these adorable water-loving semi aquatic mammals you can be a citizen scientist and report your sightings to the Florida Otter Spotter, link in our caption!

How cool is that? But before you go out looking for otters remember ⬇️

🦦 They are shy and secretive animals so giving them space and being quiet is the best way to observe them! 💦

You otter know…

40% of all documented cases of negative otter + human interactions happened here in Florida!

Say it isn’t so?!?

The answer is yes— especially here in Florida

😅

Because of humans behaving badly+ getting too close to the bitey end of these adorable water weasels 🦷

And clearly not because there are roving bands of otters scouring the Florida waterways looking for humans to bother…

You won’t be attacked by an otter on our clearkayak tour because we watch them from a distance AND now that we’ve got your attention 👇🏽

It’s as good as time as any to remind you to practice passive observation if you see wildlife!

When we give them space, we keep them wild & keep them safe 🫶🏼💙🦦

River otters are fast, playful, and always on the move, usually hunting fish or invertebrates along the banks and popping up just long enough to check things out. When we spot one on a 📍Get Up and Go Kayaking Weeki Wachee ecotour, the move isn’t to chase the otter down, it’s to slow down, stay quiet, and give the otter space so the can keep doing what they were already doing.

That’s what ethical wildlife viewing looks like out here. When we don’t change the moment, we get to see the real version of wildlife, quick, curious, and gone before you know it.🦦💙
