Smaller and darker in color than an otter, we observed the mink swimming in the river. When it spotted us, it scurried up the bank and ran along the riverside until it found a better area to swim in.

We had a campsite in Elkmont in GRSMNP on the river side in section G. On Thursday, July 26th we saw three otters, a mother and two little ones in the water. On Friday, July 28th, we spotted another otter, possibly the same adult from the day before, and I was able to grab my camera in time to snag a pretty good photo. We observed the otter eating what appeared to be crawfish on a rock and sometimes simply sticking its head out of the water to chomp on its prey instead of rolling over onto its back.

While hiking on the Old Sugarlands Trail, I saw 2 otters across the water on the bank. They were chasing each other around the rocks and even making audible noises. Eventually, both jumped in and played in the water before going under and disappearing.

Otter was diving and eating for about twenty minutes. It saw us watching from the roadway and moved to the far side of the river, but continued to eat.

My son & I were visiting Greenbriar in Cosby, TN. Sawyer was fly fishing as I read. While taking a lunch break at the car, we heard a sound coming from the river. When we approached the bankof the river we saw a momma otter and her 2 babies making their way up the river. The noise we heard was a 3rd baby calling for its mom. The mom & 2 babies backtracked to get the 3rd baby.
