He's a cracker.
I watched a documentary on the giant otter a few weeks ago. A woman who had brought up an orphan and was trying to reintroduce it back to the wild. It went missing in the end and no one knows whats happened to it. I cried buckets.

Thanks. He was at an Otter and Owl park. Lots of different species, plus a lot of NATIVE wildlife, such as Deer, Pine Martens, Scottish Wild Cats, Polecats and other Owls from the UK.

Yes, I saw that too Elaine. It was so sad at the end, but not completely without hope. I was amazed at how the otter and the woman bonded - she obviously learned a lot about Giant Otters from him too.

Great pictures! Whereabouts is the park?
