Baby Otter Finds A Family After Being Swept Away From His Mother

High tide, bad weather and still-developing swimming skills are what left a baby otter all alone and washed ashore in Scotland. He lost his mother and family, possibly forever, but luckily, he wandered to the right doorstep in Kirkcudbright. His cries alerted the homeowners and they called the National Wildlife Rescue Center, part of the Scottish SPCA.

Now, he's being cared for and loved by the workers at the National Wildlife Rescue Center, who named him Buddy. He has been introduced to three other baby otters - Ebb, Tide and Wave - that suffered a similar fate, and now they have their own little family unit. They will all be released back into the wild when they're big and strong enough, reported the Dodo.
