Right before the murder, two fancy ducks landed above my head in the rain forest. Then as I looked into the otter exhibit, they splashed down before us. The wake hardly settled as a long shiny otter streaked across the exhibit and slipped underwater. Like a torpedo, it shot toward the ducks.
In a splash-fest, one duck flew, the other disappeared. The otter held the unfortunate duck underwater and towed it to the cover of a shrub where it chowed down on its flopping corpse.
We were involuntary witnesses of the whole ordeal.
Upon hearing the news, the ape sat down to consider his sadness.
the apes at Henry Doorly Zoo are the best!
