In memory of #Freya - the wandering Walrus that graced us here Shetland last winter.

MURDERED today by the Directorate of Fisheries in #Norway because she was perceived as a "continued threat to human safety".

Abhorrent and unforgivable on every level.

In addition to learning skills from their peers, #otters can also solve #puzzles alone, #research by lead author @ASaliveros has shown

Otters learn from each other

Research into Asian short-clawed otter behaviour has found that not only do otters learn skills from each other – but they also solve some mysteries alone.

New research has shown that #otters learn from each other but solve some puzzles alone. Scientists gave the otters puzzle boxes containing familiar food and unfamiliar natural prey and they decided whether food was safe to eat by learning from each other. https://t.co/XSHKvFI19A
