“We can assess his behavior and provide treatment for his mange.”
Just a few hours before they rescued Duke on Thursday (Sept 12), the team was called to a car in Wragby, Lincs, after reports that an otter was stuck inside the engine.
They wrapped the vehicle in an extra-large deer net to prevent the animal, who has been named Oakley, from running from under the car and into a nearby main road.
They then managed to get him out of the engine and straight into their travel box.
Oakley will need long-term rehabilitation after being separated from his mother and will be taken to RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre in East Winch, Norfolk.
A center wrote on social media: “Fortunately for this young otter, he has secured a place at RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre.
“He is being transported there by our lead rescuer today.”
