| Fingal and Sula | |
|
Otter Creek was officially opened in 2002 by Terry Nutkins. A spacious and spectacular Otter sanctuary with underwater viewing, allowing you to witness their graceful swimming up close. Sula (who sadly passed away on 4th December 2007) and Fingal, the Sanctuary´s residents, refugees from an overcrowded colony at an Essex wildlife park, help raise awareness of conservation efforts on behalf of those native Otters. |

The facility with its own holt, deep diving pool, streams and shallower pools has plenty to keep the two Otters occupied.
Their arrival was part of a National SEA LIFE campaign to raise awareness of conservation needs and endeavours relating to our native European Otters......happily now making a strong comeback after decades of decline. |
