A cute new animal has arrived at the Yekaterinburg Zoo.

      A new resident has arrived at the Yekaterinburg Zoo — a male Asian small-clawed otter named Vasilyok. He arrived in the capital of the Urals with the prospect of forming a family group with the existing females, but he still needs to grow a bit first.

      The little one is only six months old but already very charming. He is currently adapting to his new home, getting used to the enclosure and his diet.

      The diet of small-clawed otters includes fish, chicken, shrimp, hearts, and vegetables. Vasilyok has a good appetite; he eats all the dishes, but his favorites are pink salmon and chicken hearts. You can see him on the first floor of the "Southern" pavilion.

      Earlier we showed what a bear's den looks like from the inside.
