Otters
One of the UK’s larger mammals, otters belong to the same family as badgers and weasels. Although they often hunt in salt water their large territories must include some fresh water that they need to wash in daily in order to keep their fur waterproof. Often elusive to see, their populations have recovered significantly over the last decade and they are now found in every county of the UK.
