[Is domestication the problem!? Better to be in the wild!? What is the truth…!?]
It’s about domestication of otter which was controversial last year. There were many opinions that domesticating otter which is naturally a wild animal is wrong. In this exhibition, we would like to take a close look at the “truth” of otter and understand the history of otter from biological perspective.
