Occurrence remarks Sadly this animal was found dead. It had made a nest under my sons guinea pig cage by the backdoor. We could smell something strange and could not believe our eyes to find this otter curled up. It has been sent to NRW who will send it to Cardiff for testing to find out what it may have died from. Its coat and size looked good health. I measured the outer curved side of the body it was 1.2 m.
