We are still getting tremendous views of the kits at dawn and dusk whilst they are staying near the lodge. Soon they will get more adventurous and Mother will let them go further into the habitat.
It's fascinating watch them play, learn and eat. There is already a hierarchy amongst them and certainly behave just like children.
They only eat leaves and the odd plant as their teeth are not developed enough to cut into branches. I did see that they are orange like the adults. This is the iron in the enamel which makes the teeth so strong. It looks as though they are still getting milk from the Mother, judging by her teats.
Once out of the water, they look very different as their fur dries out and they look much bigger.
Excuse the traffic and aircraft sounds, we are near the landing path for Stansted and roads. I like to keep the natural sounds of the habitat but can't always avoid human sounds!
