Two giant otters have moved into Jersey Zoo to become roommates with a giant anteater.

Fia and Alexandra can be found in the South American House with giant anteater Zena.

The mother and daughter otter duo arrived in the island on Thursday from Yorkshire Wildlife Park.

Mammals curator Ben Matthews said: “It’s always exciting when we get a new species at the zoo, especially when it’s an animal as charismatic as a giant otter.

“The team at the zoo over the past few months have been working hard to adapt their enclosure ahead of their arrival and it’s great to see how quickly they have both settled in.

“The team are looking forward to sharing more with members and guests over the coming weeks and months about these fascinating creatures and our wider work as a Trust in South America.”

Jersey Zoo is set to host a Giant Otter Celebration Weekend on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 August to celebrate Fia and Alexandra.

During the weekend there will be additional talks and feeds from the zoo’s expert keepers, as well as face painting and other activities for guests to enjoy.

Entry for this weekend is free for members; normal admission fees apply for non-members.
