It’s the otter equivalent of stomping upstairs to your room and slamming the door behind you.
Here at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre in Gloucestershire Mo the otter flexes her teenage muscles by…… climbing a tree!
Mammal Manager at Slimbridge, John Crooks, said: “This is certainly very unusual behaviour for an otter, but I think maybe she is going through some kind of teenage rebellion. Otters are strong mammals and she is climbing progressively higher each time so she seems to be very determined and headstrong. “Perhaps she just wants to be left alone or to have a bit of space from her younger sisters and up a tree is the best place for her to do it! She is certainly getting a bit of a following now that word has got around with visitors.”
