Season 1 · Danga Bay, My Peaceful Home
“The mangrove was a big world. But for our little family, it was home.”
…or read the story
Five otters, one den, and a whole river to explore.
Six little films that walk from misty dawn to a brand-new morning. Scroll, and the day goes by.
The mangrove is almost a character itself.
The family's central landmark: a huge old ficus tree beside the river. Its enormous buttress roots make sheltered spaces, sandy patches, small caves, climbing walls and hiding places — and the doors to the otter den. Once you recognize it, you always know where home is.

Underneath the ficus tree, several tunnels connect multiple openings: one toward the river, several hidden among the roots, and one onto the sandy play area. The pups can enter through one hole and pop out of another — which is excellent for chasing games.

Wide and calm, with small fish and larger fish, floating leaves, submerged roots, shallow paddling areas and deeper swimming holes. The water is clear enough that you can sometimes watch the otters swimming beneath the surface.
Seen in Part 2 · Part 3 · Part 6
A small sandy area beside the den — the pups' favourite playground. They roll, they wrestle, they dry their fur, they groom each other, they chase, and they fall asleep in a pile after all of it.

“Everything was peaceful.”
