Maguari 14 Feb 2011 Dropped by a heron or gull maybe? Depends if this is the main path or part of an exhibit.
devilfish 14 Feb 2011 I think this is what remained of a Giant Otter's meal. It was discussed elsewhere; I can't find the original thread, but here's a photo uploaded alongside those of gills: http://www.zoochat.com/132/giant-otter-103616/

Like a kid who won't eat crusts (or the little pile of mushrooms I often have to pick out of things!). I'm not sure if the gills are normally eaten or not, actually.
