| Seasons of the Otter |
 |
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, and coyotes, eagles, beaver, and even
an occasional grizzly bear... |
