Otters are so proficient at capturing the fish they live on, that they have lots of time left over for play. And they seem to play with reckless abandon, sliding down steep canyons in deep snow, swimming under the ice in Yellowstone Lake. They submerge us into the lake to find strange underwater spires only recently discovered by man. Other creatures sometimes survive bitter winter seasons by stealing fish from the otter. Actually, they're pretty good at defending themselves, and this program catches some astonishing action between them, coyotes, eagles, beaver, even an occasional grizzly bear. Seasons of the Otter has now been completed and released by Bob Landis and myself. We had hoped to have it out last year, but now it is finished. If you have an interest in otters, Yellowstone, wildlife or nature in general, we believe this film will have been worth waiting for.
Other animals such as coyotes. Coyotes steal fish from otters. This turns out to be a contest that has gone on for eons, and you may be surprised to learn that coyotes, and other creatures, can literally be dependent on otters in order to survive the coldest months of winter. Because otters can catch fish in Yellowstone Lake, even in the winter, some other mammals and birds sometimes steal enough of the otter's catch to get them through lean times. We also have some remarkable footage shot deep in Yellowstone Lake, where we see mysterious thermal spires not previously known to exist on the lake bottom. This geologic activity is just beginning to be recognized and studied in Yellowstone Lake, and the otters take us there for a fascinating look as part of this film.
There are four short additional programs as a bonus on this disc,... interviews with otter experts, and a 12-minute piece on how the underwater photography was done with a remote underwater vehicle. This is a fun film. We hope you like it. Dale Johnson Customer Reviews:
My girlfriend and I loved this video. The shots of otters are amazing, especially when they are belly-surfing through the snow. This is a great video for anyone that likes the outdoors, but an especially great video for anyone that likes otters.
This is a fabulous programme, and one that never fails to cheer me up when i think of it.
We are very fond of otters in the first place, so we were keen to watch this show (on SCN). We were not disappointed - a fun documentary, elegantly shot and pleasantly narrated. And the star actors were fabulous!
My wife has a "thing" about otters. I have been searching for documetaries for a long time, and was happy to stumble across this little gem. The cinematography is excellent, the facts interesting, and the narration top-notch. If you love otters, this is a must-have for your collection!
I only had a short time to view this program, but I was taken by the Otter. No offense to the other animals here, but the Otter sure enjoys its life. IT SHOWS. They are all about fun. I enjoyed this program. My children are back in WI, and I called them right after the program to tell them about the program. I really enjoyed watching this show. The Otter is my favorite 4-legged friend. Second only to my dogs.
