'We created a dating website for otters'

Two otters have found love in lockdown after losing their former partners.

Harris from the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, whose partner died four years ago, moved to Sea Life in Scarborough to be with Pumpkin.

She was lonely after losing her elderly partner Eric and her animal care team hoped a new male otter would cheer her up.

Polly Frier from the Cornish Seal Sanctuary explained to 5 Live Drive how the creation of a dating website helped two otters find love in lockdown after losing their former partners.
