As the holiday season approaches, the biggest question I get is, "What do you do for the holidays?" All of the animal staff are at the park 7 days a week, 365 days a year. There isn't one of us who hasn't shared a Thanksgiving or Christmas with the animals we care for. Whenever Thanksgiving comes along there is also that inevitable question, “What are you thankful for?”

The Asian small-clawed otter, Amblonyx cinerea , is small and deceptively cute.
