Caravanning is all about seeing the great outdoors; it’s an opportunity to be at one with nature, to enjoy the encompassing greenery and to experience wild animals in their natural habitat.
Birds, fish and deer are perhaps the most common wild animals found in the UK, but every now and again an animal that we are perhaps a little less familiar with makes itself known to us.
And that’s exactly what happened at a caravan park in Stockton, where a six-week old otter pup was discovered.
Little information has been released regarding the discovery, however it is believed that the otter became stranded after coming out the nearby River Tees.
Taken to a local veterinary surgery, the otter pup is now in the capable hands of staff who are looking after the creature until next week, when it will be transferred to a sanctuary.
Nicknamed ‘Otty’ the pup is believed to be in good condition and is enjoying being fed puppy milk, although perhaps not as much as the staff who get to feed it.
