My grandad used to always say "Don't worry, young wylderstalyns. Wherever you go, there'll always be an otter behind you. It might be thousands of miles away, but it's there." 😉

    Haha surprisingly they are not too rare in my city. I would guess it has to be one of the healthiest populations of any urban area. I don't see them too often but I see their poop a lot.

    I'm assuming this otter didn't escape from the zoo or spontaneously appear. Where did it come from? How far is it from the nearest otter hot spot?

    In terms of where otters live, is this otter creating suburbs or is this otter going all the way out to rural?
