About this puzzle
This puzzle is a close-up of a curious otter peeking above the surface, with fine, detailed whiskers and bright, expressive eyes, all set against a warm golden background. The glowing water gives the whole image a soft, honeyed feel, with the otter’s sharp little face as the lively focal point.
That sleek coat is doing heavy lifting. Otters have the densest fur of any animal on Earth, up to a million hairs in a single square inch. They have no blubber to keep warm, so all that fur traps a layer of air against their skin and keeps them cozy even in cold water. It is basically a built-in wetsuit.

Tips for solving this one
Edges first. After that, build the otter itself, since the face, whiskers, and dark eyes give you the clearest landmarks against all that golden water. The water is the patient part, soft and similarly toned, so sort those pieces by their lighter and darker ripples and fill them in around the otter last.
