I was really happy to see these animals living just a couple of miles from me in the slough.
The two otters surprised me when they hopped out of the water, poked around for a bit and then dove back into the water and disappeared.
This site goes into more detail about their presence in the metro area and this site has photos of another otter in the same area (Smith and Bybee Lakes).
About the photo: Salt and Pepper go BERSERK when I hand them a bit of a boiled egg.
