A family of Cape clawless otters was spotted enjoying a summer beach day in Camps Bay, Cape Town.
Cape Town is famous for its beaches, which attract visitors from around the world during the summer. A family of Cape clawless otters was recently spotted enjoying a summer beach day in Camps Bay . While otters are undeniably cute, they are wild animals and can become aggressive if threatened. It's best to admire them from a distance and keep dogs on a leash.
Cape clawless otters are the largest freshwater species in Africa and sightings along the Western Cape's shores have increased in recent years. However, their population is declining and they are listed as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The world-famous Otter Trail in South Africa is named after these playful creatures
