Home of Oscar and Andy

North American River Otters

The staff of Union Federal welcomes you to visit.  We hope you will enjoy watching our two little friends at play during your visit.      

Oscar and Andy arrived in Kewanee on August 5, 1991.  They came from Theriot, Louisiana, which is located on the Gulf of Mexico.  The population of river otters is abundant in that region of the United States.  They were captured as young pups in the wilds of the Bayou.  The animals were approximately 1 1/2 years old when they came to Kewanee.  

Local area school children named the animals as winners of an environmental essay contest.  Since their arrival they have delighted thousands of people.  We conduct group tours which provides an opportunity for people to learn about the animals and how important it is to keep our environment clean and safe for all who live on this earth.  Oscar and Andy, both males, have a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years in a controlled environment such as we provide here.

These friendly playful animals serve as a reminder that although we and those who visit us are engaged in serious financial matters, we owe it to ourselves to take a few minutes now and then to lighten up and enjoy ourselves.

Oscar and Andy can be visited during regular business hours.
