Otter's 'Scent-sational' Surprise - A Whiff of Territory Marking in Shetland!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by wildlife photographer David Tipling, we witness a truly unique moment in the life of an otter. Meet our adorable protagonist, Lutra lutra, as it proudly showcases its remarkable scent-marking skills on the shores of beautiful Shetland in April. With a mischievous glint in its eye and a cheeky grin on its whiskered face, this cunning mammal leaves no doubt about who rules these waters! As it elegantly deposits its scat on the shore, our furry friend is sending out an unmistakable message to all potential intruders: "This territory is mine!". But what exactly does otter scat smell like? Well, let's just say it's not Chanel No. 5! However, for fellow otters and curious naturalists alike, this pungent calling card serves as both a territorial marker and an intriguing olfactory diary. As we marvel at nature's ingenious ways of communication through David Tipling’s lens, we can't help but wonder how many tales are hidden within that tiny mound. Who knows what secrets lie within those little droppings? So next time you find yourself strolling along the picturesque shores of Shetland in April (and happen upon some peculiar-looking scat), remember to thank Lutra lutra for adding that extra touch of excitement to your day – reminding
