The Martin County River Otters participated in the 2nd annual Panthers Cup Tournament in Weston, FL on February 28 & 29. There were 4 teams competing in the 8U division. On Saturday, the River Otters started out a bit sluggish, as they eeked out a 4-2 win against the Weston Wildcats "B" team. Later in the day, facing the favored Jr. Lightning team, the Otters found themselves on the losing end of a 7-2 physical game. But Sunday would be different. Facing the Wildcats "A" team, who beat the Jr. Lightning on Saturday, the Otters came out firing on all cylinders. Timely passing and scoring by Brett and Pierce, along with unassisted goals from the defensive position by Anthony proved to be too much for the Wildcats as the Otters won 8-5. This resulted in a 3-way tie for 1st seed in the playoff round. Based on the tiebreaker rules, the stage was set for a playoff round rematch between the Otters and the Wildcats "A" team. Using everything they learned during the first game, along with some stellar defensive play from Jeffrey, the Otters struck early and never looked back as they dominated the Wildcats 6-0. Enter the Jr. Lightning for the championship game. Unfortunately, the Otters seemed to run out of steam and couldn't match up, losing 9-1. Hats off to these kids as they played their hearts out. Way to go Otters!!!

63. The River Otter river otters inhabiting marine environments make extensive use of, andconcentrate their activities in, intertidal and subtidal zones. http://www.absc.usgs.gov/nvp/rotter.htm

The River Otter (Lutra canadensis) From the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS) Trustee Council Fiscal Year '95 Project Description: " River otters inhabiting marine environments make extensive use of, and concentrate their activities in, intertidal and subtidal zones. These high trophic-level carnivores are long-lived, and occur at densities of 0.2-0.8 otters/km of shoreline throughout the Gulf of Alaska. River otters are extremely sensitive to aquatic pollutants, yet continued to reside within the area of oil-contaminated shorelines in PWS, Alaska following the spill. These characteristics make river otters an excellent model for assessing effects of marine pollution on mammals, and provide an overall index to the health of the nearshore ecosystem. River otters living in marine environments consume a diet dominated by marine fishes, which they prey upon in intertidal and subtidal zones; they also consume a wide variety of marine invertebrates. Such nearshore areas are the most often affected by pollution. For instance, the spill contaminated extensive areas of the intertidal and subtidal environments, which was reflected in a loss of dietary diversity for otters inhabiting oil-contaminated shorelines. Likewise, river otters living in oiled areas exhibited a significantly lower body mass (when controlled for sex and total body length) than did otters inhabiting unoiled areas. Otters have extremely large home ranges (20-40 km of shoreline), and hence integrate effects of pollution over wide areas.

66. River Otter In South Dakota Since this population decline, river otters have not been able to reestablishin South Dakota. river otters share similar foods and locales as a mink. http://www.sdgfp.info/Wildlife/Diversity/river_otter_in_south_dakota.htm

River Otter in South Dakota Additional Information January 2002 - Ohio river otter photos Tracking Otters River Otter Alliance - Homepage Index for Mammalian Species - Virginia Hayssen ... River Otters: Animal Information, Pictures, MapNational Geographic Kids Lontra canadensis ). Extensive trapping pressure, habitat loss or degradation, and urban development forced river otter populations near the point of extinction with the expansion of Europeans into the New World nearly 100 years ago. Since this population decline, river otters have not been able to re-establish in South Dakota. The river otter and the mink are close relatives, although specific physical characteristics and behavioral habits differ. River otters are about twice the size of a mink, weighing from 15 to 25 lbs (7 to 11 kg). Besides being larger, river otters lack a white chin patch, which is characteristic of minks. A sleek design, such as a long tail and slender body, allows river otters to swim fast and maneuver around many obstacles. The plush, brown fur is waterproof, protecting the river otter from extreme environmental conditions. River otters are lazy engineers that use abandoned or active structures created by other animals as den-sites (e.g., beavers). Shoreline foliage and debris, such as grass, fallen trees, or abandoned beaver lodges, are typical sources of cover and den-sites. Den-sites are primarily used for resting and relaxing. Females rely more heavily on den-sites with the arrival of two to three pups in March or April. Once young of the year are born, family groups of three to four river otters can be seen sliding on banks and frolicking in the water. River otters are excellent swimmers, although the majority of their time is spent on land or in dens. Because of their effortless land and water usage, river otters are sometimes called "land otters". Not many animals are able to fluently survive on land and water.

Nearly six feet long, this velvety brown animal is one of the most delightful creatures to watch in the Amazon, if you are fortunate to see one close by. It is 1.5 - 2 meters long and weighs around 35 kilos. It is not uncommon to find groups of 1-10 of these in the oxbow lakes of southeastern Perú, the region which has the largest remainding otter population. Giant River Otters Their bodies are fully adapted to swimming, they have a flat tail that they use as a powerful propeller, webbed feet and two layers of hair, one of which is waterproof. They have distinctive white marks on their necks that allow us to identify them individually. Even though they spend most of their time in the water (lakes, rivers and swampy areas), they sleep in dens, where they gather in families, and will also walk if they need to travel from one body of water to the other. It is in these dens that they leave their strong markings, which warn other otters if the district is occupied, if there is a female in heat, if there is a group leader missing, etc.

Click here Anglesey, an island off the north coast of Wales in the UK, is approximately 35km wide with an estimated population of 70,000 with a highest point of 220m- though not as flat as many believe it to be (try cycling around here). It is the only county in the Wales entirely surrounded by sea. The Welsh for Anglesey is Anglesey is an island. I know this may sound obvious but it does come as a surprise to some. It is separated from the mainland of Wales by the Menai Strait , a long narrow channel about 26.5km/ 16.4 miles long. The tide comes in at both ends- the Liverpool Bay end (east) and the Caernarfon Bay end (west)- creating an astonishing tidal flows. The inter-tidal zone (the bit permanently under water) averages no more than 500 metres wide but can reach a maximum depth of 26 metres, though more than half the length registers no more than 5 metres. The whole of the Strait is navigable and when it reaches an area called The Swellies between the two bridges linking Anglesey with the mainland this is reduced to just 30 metres wide in places with a depth of between 14m and 5m below Chart Datum. It could be said that The Swellies is where it all happens in the Strait. As I said the tide comes in at both ends and generally the Swellies is the meeting point. It experiences an incoming tide by first entering from the west (Caernarfon Bay-west). At the same time the sea is rushing around the top of the island around to the other end (Liverpool Bay-east). This enters the Strait at a place called

River Otter River Otters like this mated pair are being seen more commonly around Seattle. Given proper habitat, River Otters can live throughout much of North America. Almost any lake, river or wetland will do. Otters are reclusive, but even if you don't see the otter, you can often find its "slide" along the shore or bank. People who see River Otters in saltwater areas such as our beach often think they've seen a Sea Otter, but they're different. River Otters are long and slender, with pointed tails,and never swim on their back, while Sea Otters are much stockier and spend most of their time floating on their backs. Sea Otters can be seen along rocky coves at the ocean, but not on inland waters such as Puget Sound. River Otters are playful, peculiar animals that seem to live in a world of their own. They are very talented at catching small fish, and those that live near here especially like flatfish such as starry flounder. Seeing more River Otters, even in an urban place like Seattle, is a sign that we are making progress in cleaning up our planet and making it a better place for all creatures to live. Here's a story about one encounter with a River Otter...

In his first report, Brady Haran investigates water quality. For such a mighty waterway, the Trent has a humble beginning. The nation's third longest river - and second largest in terms of water flow - begins as a muddy puddle in Staffordshire. The "Head of Trent", marked only with an old monument and rusty gate, lies on the edge of a cow paddock in the small village of Biddulph Moor. From there it trickles down a hill towards Stoke-On-Trent where the first serious pollution enters the river. In fact, the early stages of the Trent have historically been among the most polluted, causing many problems further downstream. The River Trent covers 274km and has 42 main tributaries Enlarge Map The River Tame, one of the Trent's early tributaries, is used to drain waste from Birmingham and further adds to the Trent's woes.

The rendition is fresh with lost edges and a remarkable sense of kelp infused light coloured on their form. In discussing the Otter Pair print, Robert Bateman has said: “We are blessed, and sometimes a little bit cursed, with otters. We have counted up to 14 of them living under our house by the sea on SaltSpring Island. Although they are river otters they make their living by fishing in the salt water. The down side is that our house sometimes smells like crab pate' and they have torn out much of the pink insulation under the living room. The up side is that it is an honour to have otters. They are wonderful, gregarious, wild carnivores who are constantly amusing us with their antics of play, mock fights, mutual grooming and sliding. Even in repose they seem to want to touch one another. I saw this pair on the deck just below our kitchen.” Other AFK prints by Robert Bateman: Great Blue Heron Screech Owl In Apple Tree About the Artist Robert Bateman was born May 24, 1930 in North Toronto, Ontario.

77. Animal Protection Institute - Action Alert Update: Idaho River Otters Need Your Idaho river otters Need Your Help. It is important that as many animal advocatesas possible attend this meeting and speak on behalf of the river otters. http://www.api4animals.org/692.htm

Action Alert Update (05/12/98): API helped organize a coalition of local and national animal advocacy groups to fight a plan by trappers to allow the sale of river otter pelts taken incidentally in the course of trapping beaver. On May 8, 1998, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission sided with the coalition, and public opinion, by voting to reject the proposal. The original Action Alert read: Idaho River Otters Need Your Help On April 9, 1998, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission rejected a proposal submitted by the Idaho Trappers Association to establish a general river otter trapping season in the state, saying such a regulatory change would be "too controversial." However, despite this good news, the Commission has proposed to allow Idaho trappers to sell any otter pelts "incidentally" taken in traps set for other species (river otters are frequently caught in traps set for beavers). Currently, state regulations do not allow trappers to sell otter pelts. Such a proposal could seriously impact the Idaho river otter population. Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) biologists freely admit that they do not know how many otters inhabit the state, stating that establishing population data for river otters is almost impossible.

Action Alert Update (03/06/98): The second consecutive otter trapping season (1997-1998) has concluded, and API is awaiting word of the number of animals taken. A lawsuit by the Animal Legal Defense Fund and the Humane Society of the United States to stop the trapping of river otters in Missouri was unsuccessful. API will continue to work with other advocacy groups to eliminate this cruel and dangerous activity that threatens a vulnerable native species. The original Action Alert read: Missouri River Otters Need Your Help Now The Missouri Department of Conservation (DOC) is using state tax dollars right now to promote the trapping of river otters. Today trappers are out on the rivers of Missouri setting steel-jaw leghold traps and Conibear killing traps to kill river otters, all to make a quick buck from the sale of their pelts. They have until January 20, 1998, to kill an unlimited number of animals. The taxpayers of Missouri spent more than $1.6 million to bring river otters back from the brink of extinction. And now those very same otters are dying agonizing deaths in cruel traps throughout the state. Last winter, despite opposition from wildlife advocates around the nation, the Missouri DOC held the first otter trapping season in over 60 years, resulting in the deaths of 1,054 otters out of a total estimated population of 3,000. The skins were sold for $60-$80 at auction and then exported to the Far East where they are made into coats and other fashion items.
