Three giant otter pups were recently born at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in the United Kingdom, a big win for the endangered species.
This isn’t the otter mama’s first litter — Alexandra and her partner Orimar welcomed another set of triplets just last year in 2022. Before that, Alexandra welcomed her first baby and the very first otter pup to be born at the wildlife park, Bonita, in 2020. Now the eldest sibling of seven, Bonita is helping Mom by looking after the older set of triplets.
YWP has more giant river otters than any other wildlife sanctuary or zoo, with these three new pups bringing their total to nine. These rare otters are only found in the wild in rivers in South America, according to Birmingham Zoo. Giant river otters are an endangered species. Their habitat has been reduced and degraded, and overfishing by humans can leave the otters with little to eat.
