A pair of spotted-necked otters, native to Africa, is making themselves at home at the Oregon Zoo in Portland. The pair, named Lemmy and Lila, arrived at the zoo last month and now they are exploring their new home in the zoo's African Rainforest habitat.

Lemmy and Lila were brought to Oregon from other zoos as part of a species survival plan for the spotted-necked otter. The species is listed as near-threatened in Africa due to loss of habitat, pollution and invasive species.
