Baby otter rescued from busy Inverurie street
A baby otter has been rescued after being found wandering in a busy Aberdeenshire street.
The Scottish SPCA said the "tiny" otter was spotted in Inverurie by a member of the public on Monday.
The organisation said the otter and its mother may have become separated after flooding.
The animal charity said: "Our wonderful wildlife team will look after him until he is old enough to return to the wild."
Scottish SPCA inspector Amanda Watson said: "A brave member of the public picked up a male otter early on Monday morning.
"He was found on a busy street in Inverurie, quite near the river.
"The pup is now in the care of our National Wildlife Rescue Centre. He will stay with us until he is a year old as that's how long otters stay with their mothers in the wild."
She added: "It was the most adorable encounter I've had on a Monday morning in a long time."
