Otter Ballerina

Otter Kwek won the Creatures Under the Water Award for an elegant shot of an otter in a balletic position in Singapore, called 'Otter Ballerina'.

Discussing his image, Kwek said: "An otter ballerina gracefully dances in an Arabesque position. The otter was leaping while attempting to grasp the overhanging leaves, and during an unusual landing, it ended up in the Arabesque pose. I showed this photo to a ballet teacher, and she commented that the otter is a natural but just needs to tuck in its tummy a bit — precisely what a ballet teacher would advise."
