Wild Otter
Introduced by David Attenborough
In the far north of Britain, on the stormwashed islands of Shetland, lives a rare and beautiful animal, which most of us will never see - the otter.
Here, for the first time, is an opportunity to watch, through the eye of the camera, the day to day activities of a family of totally wild otters - a courting pair at play, fluffy young cubs venturing into the water for the first time, and finally the well-grown young otters learning to hunt and fend for themselves.
