I find it a little strange that all 3 otters I have ever eliminated from my pond I did during the daytime and not at night. Maybe 9am roughly. They seemed not too afraid of me. I stalked them by waiting until they went under water and I would run to get closer to the water. I would freeze when they came back up until they went under again. When they come back up a little to close....game over!! Also I have heard it said that they don't "breath" under water but if you watch closely they make a small stream of bubbles everywhere they travel under water making it easy to know where they are going to "pop" up.

Dear Alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer... I saw the video... We need to talk.
