Tatqiq
(The Princess)
Petite and dainty, Tatqiq dives into the pool with back paws pointed.
She is graceful underwater as well, swimming with sleek, smooth strokes.
Quite the bird watcher, Tatqiq finds creative ways to lure ducks and
herons into the enclosure to "play" with. And don’t let
her small size fool you—Tatqiq is the boss when she’s out with
her brother, Kalluk.
