China's Jiangsu network on February 1 (correspondent Shao Ying reporter Xu Jie) Recently, Nanjing Underwater World has newly introduced two Asian small claw otters to meet tourists.
This afternoon, the reporter came to Nanjing Underwater World to see that the keepers were feeding and daily "weighing" two Asian small clawed otters, and the little guys jumped up and down, lively and active, funny and cute.
The reporter learned from the scene that the two small otters were born in May 2019, which were independently artificially bred by the brother venues of Nanjing Underwater World, and were a "little boy" and a "little girl", good at swimming and diving, hearing, vision, and smell are very sharp and super flexible.
It is understood that in order to promote the trust and communication between otters and breeders, otter behavior management and environmental enrichment will be carried out, and the keepers will hold a castanet in their hands, as long as the otters arrive at the designated place and touch their fingers, the keepers will press the castanet and give small fish food as a reward. In order to let the two small otters adapt to their new home in Nanjing as soon as possible, have a healthy body and growth environment, the trainers are also guarding day and night, and the veterinarians have also arranged a "love health management" package for the two small partners, daily health examinations and observation of coat color, diet and living, and conventional medical configuration and nutrition plus meals (VC/VB) are also careful.
