Foreign? Otters?

A sanctuary in Scotland recently placed two Canadian otters under 24-hour protection from aggressive local otters who are confused by the "foreign accents" of the former. The National Sea Life Sanctuary in Oban has installed an electric fence and surveillance cameras to protect its Canadian guests. Though the visitors are almost twice the size of their wild Scottish relatives, their foreign accents and scent put them at a disadvantage.
