Otterfeast !

This evening I’ve got a packet from Paris. Addressing on the envelope says it’s for me and 3 otter brothers.

Here are 3 otter brothers. Needless to say, they are stuffed otters.

120415_02
The packet is from Louloute the otter and her keeper Beatrice. When I opened it, one of the brothers sniffed it.

120415_03
What is this?

120415_04
Aha ! It’s fish! Fish!!! Pya!

120415_05
It’s mine.

120415_06
The brothers are trying to eat them immediately.

120415_07
Hey brothers! Before you eat them, listen to the message from Louloute!

Then I read the letter from her. I don’t know whether they understand it or not.

In France, April 1st is called “poisson d’avril”. They make jokes and stick fish onto people’s back. Louloute proposes we should cerebrate it also for otters. So it’s “Otterfeast”.

Guys, understand the meaning?

120415_08
Isn’t this eatable?

No, you stick it onto others back.

120415_09
That’s right.

120415_10
Keep it up! That’s proper French tradition.

120415_11
Um… A little different.

120415_12
Yes! Fish onto back.

In the letter, Louloute suggests we should share the fishes with other otters. So the brothers called the other.

120415_13
Fish! Fish! Fish!

I didn’t know such many otters lived in my home…

120415_14
Even a squid came.

120415_15
And the brothers carry baby otters on their back. It’s peculiar. They must be all male. Who bore???

120415_16
Different kind of faces. But they are all otters.

120415_17
Cool otter guy! He must be small-clawed newcomer.

120415_18
A blue fish stays between the otters.

120415_19
Fish on the back!

Thank you Louloute and Beatrice!
As you see, your beautiful “Otterfeast kit” made big excitement among all our otters 🙂
