A similar thing happened here in Singapore. Otters were endangered, but after the government worked to clean up the waterways, they came back. They are now thriving, to the point where my condo has signs up saying “What to do when you encounter otters” [0] because occasionally they come in and raid our fish pond.

I was in Singapore last summer and have fond memories of going for a run and seeing a family of 6 or so otters running on the sidewalk a ways ahead of me at NUS :). They make such lovely little bouncing arcs when they run.

Cool to hear it's the result of government effort.

Awww… but they are soooo cute <3

BTW, I remember a fatal accident at Brasilia’s zoo with them when I was a kid.
