Unique island world opens in Berlin Zoo, Germany. Dwarf otters, deer boars and crested macaques have moved to Otter Island.

This is the moment small-clawed otters and crested macaques enjoy their new GBP 1.2 million enclosure at Berlin Zoo.

Berlin Zoo said the animals have now moved to their new, 3,000-square-metre Otter Island, which is now set to provide a very special insight into the unique habitat of the Indonesian island world.

The two small-clawed otters, three crested macaques and four babirusas, an animal known as a deer-pig, from the swine family, will be able to frolic in water, on land or at lofty heights in their new enclosure that cost EUR 1.3 million (GBP 1.1 million) in funding and an additional EUR 100,000 (GBP 85,818) in donations to build.

The zoo said that visitors observing Otter Island can explore the characteristics of the animals and playfully explore the origins of the species at 11 dedicated stations.
