Meet Tolga the Otter

It is my pleasure to introduce you to Tolga the Otter. I am truly humbled that the UK Wild Otter Trust (UKWOT) named this little guy after me shortly after I visited the Trust back in January this year.

According to the UKWOT, when Tolga was rescued, he had a wound from a possible otter attack and an ulcerated eye, which both cleared up while he was with South Essex Wildlife Hospital. He then moved to the Trust in December 2021. He is now a permanent resident at the Trust’s rehabilitation centre as he has imprinted on humans/became humanized due to the extent of his injuries which meant he required several surgeries where he had to be sedated and along that line, he became used to human presence, so it would be dangerous for him to be released back into the wild. Every step was taken so he wouldn’t be but sometimes it happens with no one at fault, he will now become an Ambassador for the UK Wild Otter Trust and raise awareness for his species. It’s crazy because I am too an Ambassador for the Trust, which will hopefully help secure invaluable donations for otters across the UK in both human and animal forms.

You can donate to the UKWOT to adopt otters like Tolga, among many others too who sadly regularly arrive at the rehabilitation centre. The work that the Trust does is very important for the species, and every little action is taken through the Trust’s work help conserve this species in the wild.

Donate and adopt an otter today or please consider contributing to the UKWOT’s Amazon Wishlist to help assist with obtaining equipment for the otters. 

Thank you from myself and of course…Tolga the Otter
