Thank you Hema! I actually placed 1st and 3rd in a photography contest last weekend, and a lady came up to me afterwards and is buying one of my prints from me now :)

Actually Ava, there is just a really large one that appears in the last photo. The rest of the series is of the little one haha

Thanks Tom! Me either, this is the first time I've seen one out of the water. They could have cared less we were right there by them, the one just went on scratching and grooming himself while we watched.

Nice shots Ashley! I didn't realize their fur was so long and scraggly.
