A Delightful Surprise at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History

This past Saturday, my mom and I visited the Cleveland Museum of Natural History because I discovered that they have otters there, and if you know me, you know I am obsessed with otters. I can watch them swim and play for hours.

We discovered that CMNH has a wonderful wildlife habitat in its backyard. We followed the beautifully serene wooded path and found owls, hawks, songbirds, deer, a turkey, vultures, crows, OTTERS, raccoons, foxes, rabbits and bobcats. (Eddie the groundhog was inside for Groundhog Fun Day.) Despite the cold, we enjoyed stopping to observe each animal. Here's a pic of one of the otters. I overheard one of the staff members or volunteers telling someone that this is Lucy, who likes to suck on her paw while she sleeps. Toots!



I had not been to CMNH for many years and had no idea that this gem was hiding there. I can't wait to go back in warmer weather!
