An otter superfan has had her decade-long dream come true when she took a trip to meet the only sea ones in the UK.
Mary Heathcote, 70, has been a self-confessed "otter-holic" for over 60 years and even has over 500 pieces of memorabilia dedicated to them in her house.
But her biggest dream, to meet a sea otter, finally came true when she visited the SEA LIFE Centre in Birmingham and met Ozzy and Ola.
Mary was able to get up close with the pair - even feeding and shaking paws with them.
