Has London Zoo ever had other otter species beyond Asian small (or short or whatever) clawed otters?

I'm not sure that it has had them all (it may well have done at some stage)but it certainly has had other species in the 1970s and 1980s.

According to Zootierliste London has held the following species:-
spotted-necked
smooth-coated
Eurasian
Canadian
African clawless
and the current denizens, the "infamous" short clawed otters.

I'm quite disappointed that there are only six species listed. I would have thought more than that (not even giant otter?!)

I was expecting more myself, maybe not giant but hairy-nosed, neotropical or Southern river otter at least.
Giant otters don't seem to have been kept much until quite recently so there's still time for ZSL to get in on the act... :D
