Teen Otter climbs tree in a strop

A naughty otter is attracting loads of attention by climbing trees at a wildlife park.

Otters aren´t supposed to climb like this, but Mo might be doing it as part of a "teenage tantrum".

Staff at the Slimbridge Wetland Centre in Gloucestershire said an otter had never climbed a tree there before, but that Mo was quite headstrong.

"It´s the otter equivalent of stomping upstairs to your room and slamming the door," a spokeswoman said.

"Perhaps she just wants to be left alone or to have a bit of space from her younger sisters and up a tree is the best place for her to do it!

"It´s quite unusual behaviour. It´s certainly causing a stir among the visitors."

Mo started climbing trees at Christmas, but now she´s got the hang of it she´s going higher and higher each time.

Staff have only ever heard of one incident of an otter climbing trees before, but it´s never happened at the centre until now.
