Records
An elderly Asian small-clawed otter at Toba Aquarium, described as 16 years old in a keeper's diary entry from June 2026. His exact birth date and facility of origin could not be confirmed from official announcements. Otters are normally given whole food to maintain their biting strength, but with age it has become necessary to prepare his food so it is easier to eat.
He had previously been given fish filleted into three pieces, but from around June 2026 the keepers tried chunks instead, and he began eating them. His keeper hopes his appetite holds and that he lives a long life. Asian small-clawed otters generally live 10 to 15 years, though there are cases in captivity of individuals reaching around 20.
A keeper's diary entry from April 2026 shared the story of his photo shoot for the second series of collectible cards, and as a long-time resident he is a familiar face to visitors. He lives in the Water Corridor with the other otters.
