You really otter see this!

Action at a zoo in China has gone viral after an otter came to the rescue when a tourist dropped his phone into the pool inside the aquatic enclosure.

A video filmed at Shanghai Wild Animal Park shows the keeper, Shen Yanhong, introducing the small-clawed otter, named You Tiao.

However an onlooker who was recording the encounter suddenly dropped her phone into the water, with the “smartest otter in the zoo” immediately diving into the pool to successfully retrieve it.

Park employee Ni Li said the rodent “thought it was rubbish and immediately rushed to the item,” with the owner so happy to have her phone saved that she this week presented a specially made commemorative pennant (pictured) to her noble knight in furry armour.
