New Forest Wildlife Park celebrates birth of two male smooth-coated otter cubs

Two male smooth-cooted otter cubs were born on 7th December 2025 to Soriah and Song, the UK's only successful breeding pair of this vulnerable species. The cubs, now thriving and swimming, represent a significant conservation milestone for a species facing a 30% population decline over the past three decades in the wild.
