There are otters all around my house although they be china, cuddly toys, pictures or on clothes. Like other people I have seen otters in captivity, but this does not satisfy my otter obsession.

I first recall seeing otters at the Cotswold Wildlife Park when I was on a Primary School trip. I was fascinated despite them being fed fresh chicks at the time. I have since seen several different types of otter at various different sanctuaries/wildlife parks and am a member of the IOSF.

I have been to Dartmoor and the Isle of Skye, but am yet to see a wild otter. I’ll just keep looking.
