Four adorable Asian short-clawed otter pups have made their first public appearance at Edinburgh Zoo.
The quadruplets, born on November 18 to parents Barry and Luna, have received their first health checks and vets at the wildlife conservation charity confirmed the litter are four girls, who will be named in the coming weeks.

Alison MacLean, carnivore team leader at Edinburgh Zoo said, “We are delighted to welcome our newest editions, who are already proving to be very feisty, becoming more confident every day. They are now leaving their holts and exploring the enclosure with the rest of the family.
“Barry and Luna have previously proved themselves to be very attentive parents and can often be seen with their older pups Garry, Eden and Clyde playing in their stream.
“With the addition of the four girls, we now have nine Asian small-clawed otters here at the zoo. The species live in family groups consisting of a mum and dad then their older offspring who help to raise the younger ones.”
