Otters are the star of the book and i never really thought i would see a wild one in real life. These otters live in a salt water sea loch in Scotland. Their fur is not really designed for salt water so they have to swim into fresh water sometimes to clean it. The otters live in a 'holt' which is usually a hole under a tree. Their favourite food are Eels. They mark their territories with spraint (poo) which smells and shows other otters who the territory belongs to.
We walked around the loch and found some spraint. We set the camera up tied to a tree and this is what we filmed. If you watch closely you can see the otter flicking snot onto the camera which was still there in the morning.
