Two European river otters fight in the waters off the Isle of Mull, Scotland. The brothers first indulged in a spot of aquatic wrestling in an apparent attempt to dunk one another. Things got more heated when one lucky otter managed to get their paws on a fishy treat. As he tried to swallow the morsel down the other appeared to do its best to steal it clean from out of his moth.Picture: Danny Green/2020VISION / Rex Featrues
