Happy World Otter Day from Longleat!
It’s World Otter Day and both the largest and smallest species of otter call Longleat home 🦦
Keeper Ben is here to tell you all about our otter-ly adorable residents, Inny and Gordito, our Giant River Otters, and Bevan and Sumalee, our Asian Short Clawed Otters. Both species face threats in the wild, with Giant River Otters an endangered species, while Asian Short Clawed Otters are declining and classed as vulnerable.
If you want to get closer than ever to our Giant Otters and learn even more fun facts, book a Giant Otter VIP: bit.ly/3Kk84Ze
