Otters fun day at Botanic gardens

3/30 Edited to

... Read moreWatching otters at the Botanic Gardens is truly a heartwarming experience. I remember the first time I encountered a family of otters there—they were diving and playing near the water’s edge, completely unbothered by my presence. It felt like a private show of their playful antics. The Botanic Gardens provides a perfect backdrop, with its lush greenery and tranquil ponds, creating an ideal environment for otters to thrive. During my visit, I noticed how the otters skillfully dipped and dived in the water, showing off their agility and social behavior. It’s fascinating to observe how these creatures communicate with chirps and playful nudges within their family group. For those planning a visit, I recommend taking a slow walk around the garden's water bodies—being patient and quiet increases the chance of spotting otters in action. The Botanic Gardens not only offers a peaceful retreat but also serves as a vital habitat for local wildlife, including otters. Their presence highlights the success of urban conservation efforts and enhances the garden's appeal. Whether you’re an avid photographer or just looking to enjoy nature’s wonders, the otters’ fun day at the gardens is an unforgettable sight. Remember to bring binoculars and a camera with a zoom lens to capture those playful dives from a distance without disturbing them.

Otters on street
An otter sprawls happily on a sun-warmed rock by the water’s edge, its sleek fur still glistening from a recent swim. It rolls onto its back, tiny paws waving in the air as if playing an invisible game, whiskers twitching with excitement. After a burst of playful wriggles, it settles down, eyes hal

STAMPS @ BOTANIC GARDEN
One of the longest stamp rallies I’ve done, 10 stamps in total! Be ready to walk a lot and bring an umbrella since it’s mostly outdoors. Best to spend the whole day and take it slow. Great for clocking steps 😂 The link to the stamp locations is here:https://file.go.gov.sg/sbgdiscoverypassport.pd
