Twix and Summer - August 2021
Asian Short-Clawed Otters are found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica. They were once common but have become quite rare in many parts of the world.
The British Otter is known as the Eurasian Otter - so named because they are found from the west coast of Ireland to Japan. Like other species of otter world - wide, our native otter has seen its numbers decline for a variety of reasons over past decades.
Loss of habitat, pollution, recreational disturbance, tourism and hunting have all contributed to the decline.
