A six-week-old otter named Tuppence was rescued in Essex after her mother was killed on a road, and she's now recovering at a wildlife hospital.

A six-week-old female otter, named Tuppence, was rescued in Essex after her mother was found dead near a busy road in Witham. Otter enthusiast Tiffany Walters, who discovered two dead female otters—one lactating—launched a search that led to the sighting of the cub in a nearby garden. Tuppence was taken to the South Essex Wildlife Hospital, where she was treated for an infection and showed signs of strength, offering hope for recovery. Walters continues searching for other potential cubs, highlighting the risks young wildlife face when separated from their mothers in urban areas.
