Finding a mate

Match, Tinder or a similar web application was not used when Harris' partner, Apricot, died. Harris couldn't do so, because he was an otter. But otters naturally live in pairs and the managers at Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Cornwall, England, thought that Harris had been a very good partner to Apricot; he deserved a second chance at love. So, they developed an ad to try to find a female partner for him.


One excerpt from the ad "I am very attentive, I love a cuddle, and I am a very good listener. I will love you like no otter."

He got a hit. There was an otter named Pumpkin at Sea Life Scarborough sanctuary, who had recently lost her own elderly partner named Eric. They got together and eventually Harris moved in with Pumpkin.
