3. A river otter was spotted frolicking across the Oklahoma City Community College campus, prompting a video of the incident to gain attention on social media. Micah Holmes, a spokesperson for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, called the glimpse of the otter a sign that "a nearby habitat is flourishing."
