River Otter Exhibit - Seattle Aquarium

October 2006. A pair of hyper-active river otters make this small yet naturalistic exhibit their home.

From what i can see, looks good.

How much bigger is the whole exibit? And is the pool very deep?

Thanks
 
This photo shows maybe half of the exhibit, which isn't very large and all indoors. I cannot remember whether the light coming down is from a portion of the enclosure being open to the elements (maybe partly outdoors?) or simply massive skylights. Originally the otters were the first exhibit that was seen on the way into the aquarium, but now it is the very last habitat that is passed on the way out the door. I think that the exhibit is rather nice, although a tad on the small size, and the otters are as active as to be expected from that species. Also, the pool is only about 3 feet deep.
 
Thanks

Is 3 feet deep for otters? I dont quite know how deep the average river is...
