Otters were extinct in the Netherlands. Recently, they were reintroduced. They then expanded to new areas.
This video shows an otter walking through a tunnel under a railway to Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve. This mammal species is new for the Oostvaardersplassen.
More about this, in Dutch, is here.

That’s very good news. We now have wild otters in every river in England again. After many decades of decline.
