Otter cub saved by dog walkers in Scotland07/01/2011 16:29:15
Recovering at the International Otter Survival FundJanuary 2011. A two-month-old otter cub is recovering in the Scottish SPCA's care after being rescued by dog walkers. The cub, nicknamed Luce after a river in Dumfriesshire, was discovered near the village of Rigg, by Gretna, shortly before Christmas. Scottish SPCA Inspector Janet Proudlock said, "A family had been walking their dogs and heard Luce crying in distress. Sensibly, they walked away without disturbing her and left her alone for around an hour. When they returned she was still crying so they called our animal helpline." Luce is now being cared for at the charity's Wildlife Rescue Centre in Fife. "We're pleased with Luce's progress," said Inspector Proudlock. "She wouldn't have survived for long in the wild as she was totally dependent on her mother. While she isn't yet fully weaned she is starting to eat trout enthusiastically. When she is weaned we'll take her to the International Otter Survival Fund on Skye where she'll grow up with other otter cubs before she'll be released after around 12 months in their care."
