Southwest Florida has no shortage of wildlife moments, and a Fort Myers woman recently caught one worth savoring. Cynthia Greenberg filmed a river otter in the middle of a very satisfying fish breakfast, giving locals and nature lovers a charming glimpse of the region's wild residents going about their day.
Otters are a beloved — if not always easy to spot — part of Southwest Florida's ecosystem. Seeing one relaxed enough to dine in plain view is a treat, and Greenberg's footage captures just how at home these animals are in the waterways of the Fort Myers area.
Moments like this are a good reminder of how rich the natural environment is in this corner of the state, from backyard canals to golf course ponds and beyond. Residents who spend time near the water are occasionally rewarded with encounters that feel straight out of a nature documentary.
This sighting was reported by the News-Press.
