Teaching a River Otter How to Catch a Crab

While working at the wildlife rehabilitation center, it was my job to get Missy ready to be released back into the wild. I taught her how to catch food. Here, I'm trying to show her how to kill a crab. She had succeeded in killing a crab the previous day, but was struggling a bit with this one. Otters have very thick fur and skin, and are not easily hurt by crab claws. River otters are cute, but they are wild animals. Please exercise extreme caution when otters are nearby.
