4 new otter cubs in Buloh!

I don't believe I've seen so many smiley faces and exclamation marks in an email from Su Hooi (Outreach Officer, Sungei Buloh WR) before. But well - nobody can blame her for being overexcited.

Yep! Buloh's resident Smooth Otters (long thought to have been disappearing into the unknowns after sightings of them become increasingly infrequent, and in a smaller group too) have been sighted again. This time with four little ones - the highest number of cubs recorded to date. Usually they just re-emerge with one or two new additions to the family.

So right now there are at least six of them. And if we count the offspring from previous years, I daresay there might more than 10 of them...
