An otter escaped unharmed after getting trapped under the bonnet of a Tesco delivery van. The female pup got lost from her den and found herself in the car park at Tesco Extra in Copdock, Suffolk.
But after being attacked by a flock of birds, it clambered under the hood of the Mercedes Benz van to escape. The delivery driver is understood to have found the otter after hearing the animal yelping for help.
RSPCA Inspector Caroline Richardson said: “When I got the call I must admit I expected to find a ferret or a rat stuck in the engine - but when I reached in to get a better look there was the cutest little face staring back at me.
