In the Otter Sanctuary you will see 3 species of otter, our native British otter, the playful Asian otter and large North American river otters. The keepers are always on hand to explain all about the otters and why they are in the sanctuary, some are there for breeding, some for retirement, some for fun and some because they are not able to return to the wild.
Their mission is "To be a proactive contributor to the preservation of the wildlife of the planet with particular focus on otters and butterflies"
