Superstar Franklin!

Franklin, our young otter cub, is growing fast!.. And he is gaining his confidence quickly, not surprising since he is the only cub.

Swimming lessons are now done I think, as he is just at home in the water as his mum and dad. For the last week or so he has been out while people have been around, but staying out in the water and not too brave to come up on the bank.

This past weekend though he seems to have really got much bolder, and to the delight of both birthday parties, Franklin didn't just come out, he came "out out" for both and even right up to the fence with Emmy and Elwood.

But he is getting big... Franklin is the one on the right above, so not far off the size of mum now!
