As part of World Otter Day Aurora Zoo, Guatemala, held a 2 day event to celebrate the species. As part of the event they ran an artwork competition and this was the winner by Diego André Flores Ovando, aged 8.

What a superb piece of ottery art!

This great picture was actually handed to us personally by Cara. Cara has adopted an otter and has plans to sell some cakes to raise awareness for IOSF and the work it is doing.

Thanks Cara, keep up the good work!

Isla may have been the star with her poem but that didn't stop Mum, Dad and little sister Gracie trying to better her artwork! Here is all of the Caddell's efforts

Nelly Blair, Primary 5

Tabitha Carslaw, Primary 6

This drawing was sent in by Ryan Mackinnon, from Broadford, Isle of Skye.

Thanks Ryan!

Another one of our favourite drawings was a mother and son effort. Sebastian and his mother, from Guatemala, produced this drawing of an otter with the heading "Protejamos a las nutrias" which translates to "Protect the otters"

No matter what language, I think we all agree with Sebastian's message.

Thanks Sebastian!

And here is Sebastian himself with his orange "paw"

This beautiful picture was drawn by Megan Bradford, aged 11, from Edinburgh.

Thanks for sending us the picture Megan, keep drawing and sending us your great artwork!

• A snotter!

Thanks to the Lapsley family for the joke!

Thanks to the Aurora Zoo we were able to offer a special prize for entrants from Guatemala. We had 8 entrants and the winner was Javier Alejandro Cifuentes, aged 11. We hope you enjoy your free trip to the zoo Javier!

Thanks for all the kids from Guatemala for their entries. Keep an eye on this website to see if your picture makes it onto the page! 

And the winner of IOSF's artwork competition, beating entries from all over the world, is Grace Maclean, aged 10, from Scotland with her beautiful drawing of a swimming otter! Grace has won an Otter shrinkles kit.

Congratulations to Grace and a massive thank you for all your amazing entries!

In second place and the winner of the soft cuddly otter is Alexis Keri-Nagy, aged 5, from England.

We have a tie for 3rd place between:

Isla Caddell, aged 7 from Scotland. We particularly liked Isla's poem which reads:

"Otters are clever,
Otters are funny,
They can swim on their backs
And eat off their tummys!"

Well done Isla

And Sidath, aged 6, from Canada for his "Otter family"

Meet Daniel MacAlpine

"My toy otter and I went on quite an adventure this summer, travelling all over Scotland. Check out the photos of us on our travels!"

Daniel even entered IOSF's childrens artwork competition!

This lovely picture was done by Poppy Muir from Broadford Primary School here on the Isle of Skye. 

Japanese otters had all died out by the 1990s and they are now looking to bring them back.  The school had a visit by one of the people who is working to bring them back to Japan as he came to Skye to see how they live in the wild.

Hilary Kulas, 12, from Australia, sent us this photo of her otter family.  Thanks Hilary.
