Understanding Otters' Habitat in Shetland
Otters flourish in Shetland due to the abundance of undisturbed areas with ample food sources, providing a conducive environment for them to thrive. These mammals prefer sheltered coves on the east coast, where they can easily access the sea and forage in quieter waters. The west coast, more exposed to the Atlantic, also houses otters, although in lesser numbers. Otters strategically choose habitats with optimal conditions for raising their families.
