Hilton Head Resort Otters
They are very timid and will run off if anyone approaches the water, however they are smart enough to ignore people standing on the balconies. When the mother otter senses danger, she has a high-pitched bark that calls the children back to safety.
Truly amazing to watch them swim, play and eat.
If you visit the resort and take pictures, please forward the best ones to me so I can include them on this web page.
