'Smooth-coated otters (maroon + gold text) by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/5133895): a special text recolored version of my entry in Spoonflower's 'Significant Otters' Design Challenge. © Su Schaefer 2019 with thanks to Dr. Nicole Duplaix whose picture I used as my reference, + researchers at U Exeter: The title refers to recent findings that otters – specifically, smooth-coated otters - learn by watching and copying each other. Scientists performed their usual tricks, creating puzzles baited with food, and the otters watched and copied each other's problem-solving techniques. Young otters were more likely to copy, and solved the puzzles more than six times faster than their parents. The scientists concluded that “smooth-coated otters adopt a 'copy when young' strategy”.
