Keeper Becky explains “Our vet Paul Hall confirmed this week that we have yet again three female and one male pup, which is the same as last year’s pups who are now fully grown. It’s going to be lovely for visitors over the summer holidays to see these little ones out and about with mum Pippin, dad Katarni and the rest of the family, playing, and leaning to swim.
It can look a little rough at times, as mum and dad like to ‘dunk’ them in the water, but they soon get the hang of it and then there is no stopping them. We are expecting lots of fun and mischief from our expanded otter family this summer.
We have continued the Asian food theme names. Last year’s pups’ names were Sushi, Kimchi, Yuzu for the females and Dumpling for the male. The new little ones are called Biryani, Chapati and Pad Thai for the females and Noodle for the male.
Visitors will also be able to enjoy our summer holiday ‘Otter Spotter Special Quiz’ with an exclusive badge prize!”
