Eric and Pumpkin, the Asian Short Clawed Otters are resident here at Scarborough SEA LIFE Sanctuary.
They love to play about with magnets, pulling them apart over and over again. Eric loves eating trout, but this is a special treat, so he’s only allowed it on special occasions.
When Otters are born, they weigh around 50 g, are toothless, practically immobile and their eyes are still closed!
These eel-like fish have barbels; Whisker like appendages that help them to taste the water for food!
Common Octopus are found around our coast. Did you know they have three hearts!
Overfishing and damaging fishing practices threaten many British marine species.
Lobsters have hemocyanin in their blood which means it is blue in colour!
