NOW OPEN... OTTER OASIS!

The Oceanarium is delighted to announce that Otter Oasis is now open!

Following a £150,000 investment, this brand new naturally themed display is now home to two very cute Oriental small clawed otters! Set in a lush bamboo forest with rocky pools and flowing streams, watch them swim, splash feed and play in their luxury home.

These are the Oceanarium’s first mammal and a fantastic addition to the ever-growing aquatic family – you’re going to love them!

NEW – Otter Feeding Presentations will take place daily at 10.30am & 1.00pm

FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN TO OTTER OASIS

Here’s how the development all started…

Africa slowly being emptied and Gary one of our Aquarists moving the fish into other tanks.

The fish from Africa, including the popular Upside-down catfish enjoying themselves in their new tank in The Ganges.

Geoffrey the Giraffe Catfish settling into his new home in The Amazon.

The Mediterranean display emptied to make way for the otter pool. The tank will remain as part of Otter Oasis, where you will be able to get a brilliant underwater view of the otters swimming.

The back part of the old med tank being cut in half to allow access for the otters to their pool.

The structure for the holt and the walls going up.

One of the viewing windows on one side of the otter pool! and a special viewing window for the little ones!
