Otter
Narrator BILL TRAVERS
European otters are graceful, playful and beautifully adapted to an amphibious life. They're also solitary, very elusive and mostly nocturnal, which is why so few of us see them.
Philip Wayre is the exception as he lives his life surrounded by otters of all sorts. And now he has even persuaded our British otters to breed in captivity. As a result of his work -and that of a small group of dedicated naturalists - we can at last begin to uncover - and now even film - some of the secrets of the otter's life.
