River Otters are known for their playful and curious nature. These aquatic mammals are not only a delight to watch but also play an important role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. One of the most adorable sights you can ever see is a River Otter pup exploring its world. Recently, I photographed a River Otter pup swimming and playing in water filled with duckweed.

I was at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma when I photographed this River Otter Pup In Duckweed.

Duckweed, also known as Lemna, is a tiny floating plant that covers the surface of stagnant water bodies, such as ponds and lakes. It provides a perfect habitat for a variety of aquatic animals, including fish, frogs, and insects. But for a river otter pup, duckweed is much more than just a place to hide or hunt for food. It’s a whole new world of fun and adventure.
