Our rescue stations
Our rescue stations are focused on sheltering rescued otters and providing them necessary medical care.
While some otters are released back into the wild, some are cared for long-term because they might not be able to live on their own in the wild.
This is most often due to the fact that the otter was rescued from an irresponsible breeder and is already almost or
fully domesticated and used to living in captivity. In this case, they are cared for by experienced keepers and volunteers under supervision.
Otters released into the wild are implanted with a miniature chip in their leg to monitor their movement and safety, especially from poachers.
The otters kept in captivity here do well and exceed the average life expectancy.
This is mainly due to the capture of young and inexperienced individuals who lived in nature in harsh conditions with little chance of survival.
Especially young otters are very adaptable and allow themselves to be pampered like any other pet.
All otters also have plenty of safe water in nearby stations to play, swim and enjoy life.
