There was some delightful news today when Tennessee Aquarium announced that they have named one of their otters after Benedict Cumberbatch!

Sadly I’m unlikely to have a reason to go to Tennessee in the near future, but I’ve provided this handy visual guide to help you distinguish between the snuffly-nosed playful cutie-pie and the otter who’s named after him…
