Orphaned Otter kit
My nephew is a voluntary worker for an animal welfare shelter (Kildare Animal Foundation), and invited me over to see their latest inpatient. This Otter kit was found abandoned in Co.Donegal, in the far north of the country. It was believed to be at least 6 weeks old when it was found. The animal shelter have been doing an excellent job looking after it for about a month now. It's presently in a small cage, but will be released into a larger enclosure shortly (I'll hopefully be able to get better shots at that stage). It's already feeding on fish.
