IMG_2779_Otter_footprint, originally uploaded by koiyau.

Was out with teamseagrass at Chek Jawa and I spotted this set of paw prints VERY close to the broadwalk!
Judging from the depth of the print i think he/she had a easier time walking through the soft mud then me..
I tried following the trail but naturally it didnt end in a pot of gold or an otter..
I wonder what species it is!

Pentaceraster mammillatus @ Cyrene Reef by TeamSeaGrass

ST news link

Read about "THE discovery of this attractive species, one of about a dozen of its kind in the Indo-Pacific, is in some respects a remarkable surprise, given its large size and the fact that sea stars and their relatives had been intensively surveyed and studied throughout the 1990s by a team of NUS and Belgian marine scientists."
