Smooth-coated otters (Lutrogale perspicillat<\/em>a) are medium sized otters that inhabit coastal areas such as estuaries and mangroves. Their range extends from South East Asia to India. <\/p>\n

Although now listed as a vulnerable species, here in Singapore, there have been records of sightings of these otters in a few areas, namely in Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Sungei Tampines and Pulau Ubin.<\/p>\n

My first sighting of these creatures was at the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve on 5 September 2010. It was a pair of feeding otters. The whole thing was rather unexpected as I was not specifically looking out for them. Here are the pictures (see my Flickr account for larger sizes). <\/p>\n
