A family of otters were swimming up a storm in Cork on Tuesday, as a Mammy took her cubs to the water to show them how to swim and hunt. 

Save Our Bride Otters aims to bring attention to the plight of otters living in the city.

The otters that live near the River Bride in Blackpool are the Pana Otters, native to Cork city, according to Paddy Sleeman, a spokesperson for Save Our Bride Otters.

Yesterday, Chris Moody celebrated the new family with this gorgeous video. 

"Eurasian otter mammies do all the work," he said. "Raising the cubs and teaching them to swim and catch prey. From the looks of it, lessons have only just begun."
