Curious Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park triplet baby otters totally enamoured with terrapin, can't seem to leave it alone

We need Sir David Attenborough to narrate this scene.

In April 2015, it was reported that a pair of male-female otters that made Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park their home had produced a brood of three baby otters making them a proud family of five.

Well, it appears the baby otters have grown up to become active pups.

Video footage believed to have been shot in mid-June 2015 shows the pups growing up to be playful and curious while they were out and about with their parents in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park -- and the whole scene uncannily resembling a typical Singaporean family day out on a weekend, where the kids keep getting distracted while the parents move them along.

Here they are, a family of five sticking close to one another, until the pups spot a terrapin basking in the sun.

The terrapin, who had its day rudely interrupted, startles them.

It takes the adult otter to break things up, so that the terrapin can get on with its day, and the otter family can finally get something to eat without being distracted.

So Singaporean.
