Maybe We Otter've Brought Some Brews, Eh? (London) - Two Canadian otters at a sanctuary in Scotland have been placed under 24-hour protection from aggressive local otters who are confused by their "foreign accents," a newspaper reported Wednesday.  The National Sea Life Sanctuary in Oban has installed an electric fence and surveillance cameras to protect its Canadian guests, Fingal and Sula, according to The Independent.  Though almost twice the size of their wild Scottish relatives, the pair are disadvantaged by their foreign accents and scent.  "Dialects are common in animal communications, but because of the differences in the sounds they make it will be difficult for these Canadian otters to communicate with the native ones," Matthew Evans, an animal communications expert from Stirling University, was quoted as saying.  "There is no doubt dropping two foreign otters into a territory of wild locals would lead to the local ones beating the living daylights out of the new ones," he added.  The pair arrived at the center's Otter Creek on the banks of Loch Creran a year ago and are currently being housed in an indoor seal pup nursery.


The Last Albertan Otters by MMario

Here we are in Scotland, on the banks of Lock Creran
Living at the Otter Creek, in the town they call Oban
And though we may be twice the size of otters that are here
We cannot roam about because our fur out they would tear
We huddle down behind a fence, and watch a TV show
On the survellience camaras the countryside to know
They say that we are foriegn, and we have a foriegn smell
Well I could tell you they could use deoderant as well!
They say we talk with accents, and are always saying "ah"
We are the last surviving otters of the Province Alberta!

And it's chirr, eh, chirp, eh, sliding down the mud
An otters life if full of fun and empty of all drudge
And it's chirp, eh, chirr, eh, gonna give some sass!
The scottish otters can just cram their snout right up their ...

It's been a year since we got here , they still won't let us out
We'd like to hit the local clubs and play and rant and shout
But twenty four and seven we must have a constant guard
Because the scottish otters here they really play too hard!
The experts think that we may learn, the dialect to speak
Of course we could, we learned that when we'd been here a week.
But we are proud albertans and we won't give up our "wa'"
We are the last surviving otters of the Province Alberta!

And it's chirr, eh, chirp, eh, sliding down the mud
An otters life if full of fun and empty of all drudge
And it's chirp, eh, chirr, eh, gonna give some sass!
The scottish otters can just cram their snout right up their ...
