Super cute and super stinky.
That’s one way to describe Enapay (a-naw-pay) and Pivane (pih-vah-nay), the two North American river otters at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. The adorable brothers, whose names mean “the brave one” and “weasel,” respectively, in some Native American languages, arrived at the zoo in 2011 from the Minnesota Zoo. They are known far and wide, or at least across zoo grounds, for the large amounts of feces they produce and the smell of their 21-pound bodies.
“They have probably some of the grossest poop of most of the animals at the zoo,” Rocky Mountain Wild keeper Kelsey Walker said. “And in large quantities for such a small animal.”
