Singapore's otters have been getting some international coverage recently.

These furry residents have attracted enthusiasts from the United Kingdom, Japan and Thailand, just to name a few, to come and visit them.

And they don't take reservations.

It does take a bit of patience to find these wild otters and you could potentially end your trip without a sighting.

If you find this guy from Japan passionate, here's another otterku from Italy who came to Singapore just for these wild otters.
