An Otter Study

The secret haunts of the otter, including underwater scenes, are filmed from a tank concealed in a stream. The earliest film showing the otter underwater,'An Otter Study' also includes scenes of the preparation of the hide in the stream and shots of the otter fishing for roach and pike. The camera moves above the water to show the otter crouching on a rock by the stream to eat the fish.
