   Extractions: River Otters By Vanessa Huerta River otters are usually found in or very close to rivers, stre ams and seals. River otters live in most parts of the world. Their homes are called dens. River otters occasionally are seen along the Yellowstone River. Otters live in a reptilian habitat. A river otter has a long body with short dark brown fur. The hair of the river otter, like most otters, is velvety in texture. They attain a maximum length of about one and one half meters and a weight o f about thirteen and one half meters. River otters are rich brown in color with silver brown beneath. The under fur traps a layer of air which provides insulation. River otters eat fish, frogs, crabs, and turtles. They also eat smaller aquatic animals. The southern river otter likes to eat crustaceans and bavats. Sometimes the otter falls prey on land to wolves and coyotes. The otter’s principal enemies are humans. Their diet consists mainly of fish, but they also eat insects, frogs, and occasionally small mammals such as muskrats. River otters may be active by day or night, in water or on land. They are strong and energetic. River otters never stop moving or playing with each other. They are cute, but they do have a serious side. Primarily nocturnal, river otters remain active year round. Otters swim with powerful movements of their tails and hind legs.

   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: A North American river otter. Yellowstone National Park, in northern Wyoming, is home to some of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world. Studded with bubbling mud pots, steaming hot springs, and roaring geysers, the park is visited by more than 4 million people every year. It's also a haven for wildlife like coyotes, elk, bears, bison, and foxes. But a certain creature provides the most entertainment value, whether it's sliding down snowbanks on its belly or ice fishing. It's the river otter ( Lutra canadensis ), star of the NATURE program YELLOWSTONE OTTERS. A relative of the better-known sea otter, this exuberant mammal is also a relative of the weasel and shares that animal's thick fur, which insulates it against Yellowstone's icy winter. As they race gleefully down snowbanks or ride waterfalls into deep pools of water, river otters may look as if they don't have a care in the world.But otters actually spend their days constantly on the move. A resting otter is more likely to have a run-in with a predator, like a hungry eagle wheeling overhead, or competition, in the form of a coyote trying to steal an otter's newly caught trout. But as long as an otter is within sliding distance of the water, it's safe. In Yellowstone's frigid rivers, at least, the otter is at the top of the food chain.

    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.

Ellis Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Mustelidae Subfamily: Lutrinae Genus: Lontra Species: Lontra canadensis North American river otters once occurred throughout Canada and the United States, except for areas of southern California, New Mexico, and Texas, and the Mohave desert of Nevada and Colorado. In Mexico they are found in the delta areas of the Rio Grande and Colorado river. These otters are now rare or locally extinct throughout much of the eastern, central, and southern United States. Biogeographic Regions: nearctic native North American river otters are found anywhere there is a permanent food supply and easy access to water. They can live in freshwater and coastal marine habitats, including rivers, lakes, marshes, swamps, and estuaries. River otters can tolerate a variety of environments, including cold and warmer latitudes and high elevations. North American river otters seem to be sensitive to pollution and disappear from areas with polluted waters. North American river otters build dens in the burrows of other mammals, in natural hollows, such as under a log, or in river banks. Dens have underwater entrances and a tunnel leading to a nest chamber that is lined with leaves, grass, moss, bark, and hair.
