A home for the next generation

Help create a fantastic new home for Asian short-clawed otters.

Asian short-clawed otters are active, intelligent and social animals that love to swim, forage and explore. During colder months, they naturally spend less time in cold water and previous groups have remained indoors and out of view.

With your help, we’ll create a warm indoor extension with guest viewing areas. It will feature a pool, varied nesting spaces and enriching new elements that encourage natural behaviours and create the right conditions for future breeding.

It could even become the place where future otter cubs take their very first swim!

What your vote could achieve

  • Create a warm, stimulating habitat for a future breeding pair of otters
  • Encourage natural swimming, foraging and play all year around
  • Provide specialist nesting spaces to support future breeding
  • Create new opportunities for guests to observe and connect with otters

Did you know?

Asian short-clawed otters are the smallest otter species in the world and often communicate with a wide range of chirps, whistles and squeaks. In the wild, family groups work together to find food and defend their territory.
