Dinner time for the Otterby *Kippenwolf

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Wild Animals

I was sitting on a bank of one of the wetland ponds when this otter came from behind, dove into the pond and came out with a three and a half foot long giant salamander known as a "siren". He then dragged the siren up the bank and sat facing me from about 30 yards and began chowing down on his lunch! I have several serial photos showing different views of this otter dragging the siren out of the pond and eating it.

Right place at the right time

can't believe this happened to you!

Yeah, he surpised me from behind as I was taking shots of a Great Blue Heron wading near the bank.

I guess because I was sitting low to the ground, I did not present too much of a threat to him.

His decision to eat his kill right there was a bonus event. Even still, I thought it wise of him to eat facing me so that he would know if I made a move to steal his catch like most other residents of the Wetlands would likely try to do.

Thanks
