Otter

Tommy is a very special otter, he has been at the Franklin Zoo for almost 20 years. He is an Asian small-clawed otter, which usually live in a wide range of habitats where there is permanent water and some tree cover, such as freshwater wetlands, mangrove swamps and paddy fields. He loves to rough and tumble and is a great swimmer. Tommy’s friend include a club footed blackbird who shares his breakfast every morning and a male peacock who joins him in the evenings. Keepers keep him busy with activities and visits through the day. We are looking for a friend for him which is tricky as he is old, and small for his species and only has one eye…
