Happy World Otter Day!

Don’t let the cute face fool you. River otters are apex hunters of North American waterways. Healthy rivers rely on them, and in Oregon, they’re managed by the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Learn more about these fascinating creatures at the Otter Encounter everyday at 12:30 pm.

Happy World Turtle Day.
