AN otter cub is being cared for at a wildlife centre after being rescued from an Exeter storm drain.

The animal was found in a drain tunnel near a property in Mill Yard, Exeter, after a member of the public heard squeaking noises coming from it.

The cub was about six weeks old and was abandoned by its mother, according to the RSPCA.

She is now being cared for by staff at the charity's West Hatch rehabilitation centre in Somerset.
