'Smooth-coated otters copy when young, by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/7241945): my entry in Spoonflower's 'Significant Otters' Design Challenge. (Also 'Otters, companion text by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/7242081).) The title refers to recent findings that otters – specifically, smooth-coated otters - learn by watching and copying each other. Scientists performed their usual tricks, creating puzzles baited with food, and the otters watched and copied each other's problem-solving techniques. Young otters were more likely to copy, and solved the puzzles more than six times faster than their parents. The scientists concluded that “smooth-coated otters adopt a 'copy when young' strategy”.
