🦦 Today is World Otter Day! 🦦

Watch this otterly cute video we took recently at Tamar Lakes. 😍

Did you know Cornwall and Devon have the highest otter population in England? These shy, elusive animals live in all our river catchments and at most of our reservoirs.

Otters help keep waterways healthy by preventing fish overpopulation, controlling invasive species and transferring vital nutrients between land and water.

If you’re lucky enough to spot one, admire from afar and never disturb their den. 💙
