Just sit right back...



...And you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started from this 
tropic port,
Aboard this tiny ship.





Leroy and Elaine, the two North American river otters at the Binghamton Zoo, go for a sail on the raft that I designed and built for them. Enrichment is a key part in the life of any captive animal and the otters are no exception. Leroy and Elaine were pushing logs together in their pond and trying to sun themselves, but the logs kept drifting apart. I built this raft as a solution, and now they sail on it every morning after breakfast!
