The view of the second otter was taken from the narrow end of the tank. The second otter was swimming toward me. The water was so turbulent that it was not possible to see parts of the otter under the surface.

Because of the lighting in this habitat, the movement of the otter was created by the reflection of the light off of the water, rocks and otter and not the bubbles in the water. This point of view was more challenging for me the the "profile" view of Otter #1.
