And now he's very lonely and seasonally frustrated.

 

Read a book about these once, Dawn. F*cking good read, actually. We're talking decades ago now. But it was called " (In Search of the?) River Tigers ". Something like that.

 

The malaysian, or what ever they are, natives where those things come from are trashed to death of them. Reckon, if ye shoot one of a pair, the other one'll come into ye boat and drag ye out into its own element. Then deal with ye :icon_eek:

River Wolf? I think thats what they are known as DS. He's only a youngster, only came out of quarantine last May as a baby. They plan to bring a female in, but from what I could gather its not very easy to do so.

Not the non-native ones anyway! :D

 

I think Otter numbers are increasing a lot in the wild now, they even live in our Canal!

there was a programme on bbc2 about them the other night, about a naturalist studying them in the wild who found an abandoned baby one & reared to release into the wild. they are native to Brazil, and live in close-knit family groups. very defensive of their territory, they don't take kindly to otters they don't know. amazing creatures though!
