WRAPPED up in snug a cosy towel enjoying warm milk - it's a far cry from the freezing snow Snowflake the otter was found in fighting for his young life.

Staff at Secret World in East Huntspill have been nursing the cub back to health after a concerned couple found him in their back garden in nearby Combwich during the recent cold snap.

Charity fundraiser Debbie O'Keefe said: “We called him snowflake because he was found in the snow and was in quite a bad way when he was brought into us.

“He is the fifth otter we have had here recently and he is recovering nicely now.

“We are hoping to pair him up with another otter of a similar age as he is all on his own at the moment.”
