It's so very mustelid for a Eurasian River otter mother to decide to move into a flamingo enclosure completely unconcerned about the big pink ducks, thinking them more like a potential emergency food source(like geese) than a direct existential threat. And then being disabused of that notion after being mobbed by these very large social birds. A true outside context problem.
