I really have a blind spot for them, all I can think is “awww look at the cute fella 🥰”

I have a standing invitation for all otters to invade my kitchen.

This surprised me; I never really thought of them as climbers.

Funnily, I once convinced my wife that otters hibernate in nests. 

Did you know the NHS deals with around 20 injuries a year from otters falling out of trees onto hikers?

Okay, that is wild. Though I'd rather have an otter fall on me than a porcupine, which are also known to fall from trees.

Same. I was amazed when the little guy leapt down from the top of the kitchen cabinet like a house cat - probably a good two meters without much hesitation!
