Otters Low‑Profile Sneak‑In at Gardens by the Bay
Even though the glass fence around the koi pond has been lifted higher, these clever otters still managed to slip into the water‑filled backyard. Gardens by the Bay confirmed that the otters found a way in through the back fence, and will be reinforcing the fence while moving the koi to a safer spot.
The Monitor Lizard’s “Pond Cleanup”
- A Reddit user, Babyboo8, claimed that the pond’s fish were nearly decimated, describing them as “torn in half” with only a handful of survivors hiding in corners.
- After speaking with a park ranger, Babyboo8 learned the truth: It wasn’t the monitor lizard eating the fish—the lizard simply finished “cleaning up” the otter mess. The reptile only snags dead fish, so it was just raking up the leftovers.
- In the comment section, fellow Redditors jokingly suggested the lizard might feel offended by the blame.
Take‑away Summary
From otters that slipped past the upgraded fence to a monitor lizard playing the accidental “dumpster‑cleaner,” the pond’s recent drama has been a wild combination of nature’s own slapstick comedy. At least the gardens have the otters re‑secured and the koi relocated before the next aquatic mishap.
Otter Overload: Zoo Staff Calls Time to a Fishy Freedom!
In a dramatic twist, one of the caretakers finally had enough of the otters’ playful chaos and ravenous appetite for the aquarium’s prized ornamental fish.
What Went Down:
- Otters were pulling off circus‑like spectacles, leaping over tanks like they owned the place.
- Each wave of excitement saw the otters gobbling up the colorful fish—like a midnight snack parade.
- Staff member “Mark” (name changed for privacy) reported, “I’ve watched them create underwater havoc and yet the fish keep squeaking—time for a fishy break!”
Why It Matters:
Maintaining the delicate balance in the aquatic habitat is vital. The otters’ over‑enthusiasm might not only threaten the fish population but also disrupt the overall ecosystem the zoo strives to preserve.
What’s the Plan?
Zoo management is deploying a new routine: Trick or treat for the otters, incorporating fun distractions to keep them entertained while protecting the fish.

March 13: The Great Koi Caper
Picture an elderly man opening his front door, only to find a headless koi and a luohan fish left behind. The culprits? A bunch of otters who decided the city was all the right kind of food. With a swift, slick swipe, they turned the quiet house into a splash‑in‑action crime scene.
Last Year’s Over‑The‑Top Fish Feast
When the Church of St. Teresa caught a lunch rush after a four-day otter binge, it was no different from a billboard-spot cyclops. Over 100 fish – some faithful companions raised for more than 15 years by church staff and gardeners – made the headline. One can only imagine the choir shouted, “All you want to do is get in the water!”
Why the Otters Are “Diet Diversified”

What’s Up Next?
With otters now acting like the stars at the zoo, the rippled city plans to turn traffic lights and even governments in their com‑market watch, making sure their theft stays fun and memorial.
