Otter – A rescue story

A young couple was driving through the fenlands when they saw a large mammal by the road.
They stopped the car and walked over to it to see if it was still alive and if it needed help.
They couldn’t figure out what it was but soon realized that it was still alive but hurt.
Quickly they wrapped it in a blanket and put it in the back of the car and started to drive towards their vets in Norwich.
About halfway there they started to hear noises from the back as the mammal started to wake up. It seemed as he did not approve of being in a car at all!

They made it all the way to the vets without too much problem but by then the mammal, now identified as an otter by the vets, was fully awake!

Not quite sure what to do they called Lyz and she started to make her way to them.
By the time Lyz arrived the otter had made the car his new home and had marked his new kingdom in more ways than one....

It took about 45 minutes and 5 people to get him out without injuring them or him!
Try to restrain an “all muscle and no shoulders” being who does not understand that we only wanted to help him.
I can tell you one thing: That car will never smell the same again!
