Otter-ly Adorable Valentine’s Day

November 25th, 2024

Love is in the air at Sydney Zoo in Eastern Creek this Valentine’s Day, with the zoo’s cutest couple celebrating in style.

Saigon and Intan, an otter-ly adorable pair of small clawed otters, enjoyed a romantic ice bath filled with heart and rose-shaped ice cubes—a special arrangement made by zookeepers to ensure an unforgettable Valentine’s Day.

As the otters frolicked and played, their bond was stronger than ever. Beneath the icy surface, a delightful surprise awaited—a fishy treat hidden just for them, enjoyed side by side.

“We wanted to celebrate the love that Saigon and Intan share in a special way,” said Sydney Zoo Exotics Manager, Tim Bennett. “Their playful antics and genuine affection for each other bring so much joy to everyone here at Sydney Zoo.”

It’s a heartwarming celebration of love, reminding us all of the joy and happiness found in companionship.
