neotropical otter (or neotropical river otter), Lontra longicaudis
The first time I've seen this species photographed. Exactly what this site is for, amongst other things! Thank you very much!
 
This individual (called Johnny ) was discovered in the wild by a member of the public abandoned by a river bank and brought to the zoo ( as many of the animals are) where it was hand raised by keepers. He's a friendly character and very at home there but his mate is extremely shy and less visible to the public.
