A video posted to the Nature Society (Singapore) Facebook page on March 25, showed a group of at least five otters messing around with what looked like a crocodile in the water in Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve:

The video is grainy, but the creature the otters can be seen surrounding is vastly larger than them.

However, crocodiles in Singapore are nothing new and sightings are common.

Just this past October, a crocodile was spotted lurking close to the jogging track in Sungei Buloh.

Also known as an estuarine or saltwater crocodile, they can also be found at Kallang River, Sungei Seletar and Kranji Reservoir and Pulau Tekong.

They can grow up to eight metres in length. Mother crocodiles can lay up to 80 eggs.

Adults eat larger prey including fish, birds and mammals, hunting mainly at night.

If the otter weren't friends or too careful, they might have been a meal.
