In the town of Santa Rosa, Paraguay, volunteer firefighters caught a wild otter that had entered a house, the second in a few weeks, and released it into a local stream.

In Santa Rosa, in Paraguay's Misiones department, members of the local volunteer fire department responded after a resident of the San Jose neighbourhood reported a wild animal in her home.

On arrival, rescuers confirmed the animal was an otter. According to Captain Juan Eliel Salinas, commander of the Santa Rosa Volunteer Fire Department, this was the second otter to appear in the area within the span of a few weeks.

After securing the animal and confirming it was in good health, the volunteers released it into the arroyo Sanguri, a local stream already home to a variety of wildlife, including otters and wild ducklings.

Captain Salinas asked residents to be mindful and avoid disturbing or hunting the animals, saying, "We want this to be a place full of life, where families and children can come enjoy this biodiversity."
