VIDEO: Watch These Otters Boogie Down at the National Zoo
Enrichment activities include playing the keyboard.
The folks over at the National Zoo like to keep their charges busy. They posted this video Tuesday of their Asian small-clawed otters doing their thing.
Here's what they had to say on YouTube:
"Move over, Mozart! Asian small-clawed otter paws fly across the keyboard as part of their #ZooEnrichment. The otters are given the choice to play the keyboard or just sit back and enjoy the show—engaging their sight, touch, and hearing senses."
