In Lower Austria, an injured baby otter is being cared for at the Owl and Bird of Prey Station (EGS) Haringsee.

The baby otter "Ottilie" is now doing better, and a later release into the wild is planned, it was announced on Friday in a press release from the Owl and Bird of Prey Station (EGS) Haringsee. Until then, the baby otter still needs medical care and high-quality food.

Farmer Discovered Injured Baby Otter

The tiny and exhausted baby otter was discovered by a farmer in a shed and ended up at the EGS after a stopover at a wildlife station. "Ottilie was already completely powerless when found, and she had chafed paws. Additionally, the baby otter had a very painful abscess on her head," reported EGS director Hans Frey. In the meantime, "Ottilie" can already eat independently again.
