Karen told BBC Scotland News that although she ended up looking after the duo for the night, it had been a team effort to try and keep them safe.<\/p>\n
She said: “There was a lot of chat on Facebook groups about them – my neighbour posted a video of them in the garden that morning. Initially it was really exciting as we’re quite a way from the shore.<\/p>\n
“They’d been spotted quite a few times during the day, but at night my cousin Jordan and his girlfriend found them out on the road. They were lying there, pretty helpless. They seemed stuck in a car engine bay.<\/p>\n
“I went over and there were quite a few people there at that point. They were trying to coax them out the car but they had hunkered down and were trying to sleep.”<\/p>\n
They tried to contact animal recuse services however they were closed, so someone phoned the police.<\/p>\n
“They said if the otters were in immediate danger to try and help them,” Karen added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Karen told BBC Scotland News that although she ended up looking after the duo for the night, it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":432553,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[90,56,54,55,4407],"class_list":["post-432552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wildlife"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432552"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432552\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432552"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
