This is a list of zoos etc keeping otters in the UK. I have not included
number kept as this varies with time as cubs are born and move on to other
collections. I have not visited all of these, and the information has been
found by phone, email or website. If you know of other places keeping otters
in the UK, or if the information below is out of date, please let me know.
