   Extractions: River Otter Lutra canadensis River Otter Tracks Click here for the River Otter Photo Gallery and videos Natural History of River Otters River otters are playful members of the weasel family who love to frolic in the water. They are common in rivers and are a joy to watch. Otters can remain submerged for several minutes. They have valved ears and noses to keep water out. The fur is warm and thick. Since they spend a significant amount of time in the water, their tracks aren't often found. The best places to look for tracks are muddy river banks. They have five toes on the front feet and five toes on the hind feet. Their toes are partially webbed, which helps them swim. Tracks in mud sometimes show this webbing. The claw marks are so close to the toes, they give the toes a characteristic pointed appearance. Otters are well-known for their intelligence and their playful antics. They are excellent fishers, but also will eat small mammals, fish, shellfish, snakes, turtles, birds, eggs, amphibians, and lampreys. They feed primarily on amphibians and will range up to five miles up and down-river each day while hunting. The tail drag is sometimes visible in an otter trail. Often, their prints are found in groups of four.

   Extractions: River Otters o Background: The river otter, Lutra canadensis, is an elusive, aquatic mammal which belongs to the mustelid, or weasel, family and is closely related to the sea otter, mink, badger and the wolverine. o Characteristics: A mature otter weighs 10 to 25 pounds and is 30 to 40 inches in length, not counting a 12- to 15-inch tail. Females are slightly smaller. Otters den on the edges of lakes, rivers or streams. Dens may be excavations under tree roots or rock piles; abandoned beaver, muskrat or woodchuck burrows; or unused beaver lodges. Dens typically have an underwater entrance and a living space above water level. o Life cycle: Otters mature by 2 years of age. They mate between January and May, and two or three blind, toothless pups, weighing 4 to 5 ounces, are born about two months later. An otter's lifespan is 10 to 20 years. o Habitat: Otters require clean water that supports fish and other aquatic life. The bulk of their diet consists mainly crayfish, and fish like suckers and minnows.

Legs short, but powerful; all four feet webbed. Tail long and slightly tapered toward the tip with musk-producing glands underneath. The short dense fur is dark brown. Chin and stomach are reddish yellow, tinged with gray. Females are a third smaller than males. II. GEOGRAPHICAL RANGE AND HABITAT: Fish, crayfish, frogs, turtles, and aquatic invertebrates, plus an occasional bird, rodent or rabbit. Because otters prey most easily on fish that are slow and lethargic, much of the diet consists of "rough" fish like carp, suckers, catfish, and sculpins. Zoo diet: fish or horsemeat with vegetables. Feline diet with fish three times a week and vitamin E twice a week. IV. LIFE CYCLE/SOCIAL STRUCTURE:

    Otternet was formed to help educate people on otters providing a wealth of facts not found anywhere else on the web. It is the official otternet. North American river otters once lived throughout North America.  
    http://www.otternet.com/species/naotter.htm
    
    Extractions: The North American River Otter is problably the most numerous otter species. They exhibit delayed implantation with breeding in March-April and birth in late winter/early spring. Fossils of North American River Otters have dated back to the Pleistocene period and archeological remains have been uncovered from 200 B.C. to the mid-1400s. North American River Otters once lived throughout North America. Native Americans hunted otters largely for their dense fur which allowed them to keep warm. When European settlers arrived and started developing the land (cutting down forests) and using farm pesticides and fertilizers, the otter habitat became threatening. By the early 1980s, eleven states reported no otter population and thirteen other states reported scarce numbers. As a result, numerous reintroduction programs were established to repopulate many of these areas. By late 1990s, many of these programs had successes with a dramatic improvement in returning otters to their original range.
