Two soul mate male otters were best friends and lived with each others for nearly 15 years, died within an hour of each other earlier this week. Zookeepers told the press they believe the second otter died of a broken heart.
Daz, 19 and Chip, 16 lived and died at Naturelands Zoo in New Zealand. Otters have a lifespan of 14 years and the Zookeepers think they lived such a long life because they had each other for company.
“They were a great pair of otters, they were interested in what was happening,” Gail Sutton told the press. “The only consolation from this is that they both went together because if one had gone without the other, the remaining one would have been really lost.”
