Oceanarium to unveil new mammal display
Bournemouth's Oceanarium has announced that a pair of Oriental small-clawed otters are to take up residence in its "first-ever" mammal enclosure.
More than £150,000 has been invested in the construction of the new experience, which is also set to include background information on otter species across the world. The otters will be housed in a naturally-themed environment, including a mixture of grass, bamboo, oriental shrubs, pebbles and sand, as well as a stream.
Oceanarium Bournemouth group curator Oliver Buttling said: "The innovative enclosure will mimic the two otters' requirements out in the wild. "As they are clever and inquisitive mammals, we will be providing them with a variety of objects, tasks and 'play' items as part of an ongoing environmental enrichment programme."
Parques Reunidos UK director James Eels added: "We continually strive to further enhance the Oceanarium experience for all our visitors and the otter enclosure will be an exciting addition to the aquarium."
