22. The River Otter The take of river otters listed in the records of fur trading companies, includingthe famous Hudson's Bay and Northwest companies, indicate that otter harvest http://www.ngpc.state.ne.us/wildlife/otters.html

The River Otter Status The river otter (Lutra canadensis), found in all major waterways of the United States and Canada, is native to Nebraska and was commonly reported in journals of early explorers of this area. Although early fur trappers generally were in pursuit of beavers, otters were also valued for their pelts, and considerable numbers were trapped. The take of river otters listed in the records of fur trading companies, including the famous Hudson's Bay and Northwest companies, indicate that otter harvest peaked in about 1800 when some 65,000 otters were taken in North America. Otter take gradually declined to a low of about 4,500 in 1904, about the time otters disappeared from Nebraska. Unregulated trapping was probably the most important factor leading to the complete disappearance of otters from Nebraska. For about the next 75 years, few otters were reported from Nebraska, and none were verified. In 1977, an otter was inadvertently trapped along a tributary of the Republican River in Furnas County. Otters continued to be reported in various parts of the state, mainly in the Republican River drainage. Because otter sightings were infrequent and no concentrations of animals were ever found, it is likely the animals observed since 1977 were transients rather than part of an established population. Although otters are endangered and fully protected in Nebraska and are uncommon in neighboring states, they are relatively abundant in Alaska, most of Canada, the Pacific Northwest, the Great Lakes states and most states along the Atlantic Coast and Gulf of Mexico. Currently, about half the lower 48 states, Alaska and all the Canadian provinces have otter trapping seasons. In some recent years, more than 50,000 otters have been taken in North America. The otter harvest in Louisiana sometimes exceeds 10,000 animals, usually surpassing that in any other state.

Otters spend a large amount of their lives in water. © Lee Brun Otters, Inside and Out All otters seek most or all of their food in water, and they've had a long time to adapt to this way of life. Their first distinctly aquatic ancestor dates back 30 million years, according to the fossil record, which shows that ancestors of the North American river otter ( Lontra Canadensis )crossed the Bering Land Bridge and arrived in North America by the Upper Pliocene epoch. The earliest otters had sharp cutting teeth, which suggests that they were first attracted to water by fish rather than by hard-shelled invertebrates like crabs and crayfish. In this regard, river otters resemble these ancestors more closely than do other kinds of otters of 16

Three otters. © Archive Photos. There are four species of American river otters, which range over virtually the whole of the New World. Lontra Canadensis, which is also called the northern river otter, the Canadian otter (after the place where the first specimen was collected), the land otter, and the fish otter, is the only one to occur in North America. Although referred to as river otters, they also live on seacoasts. What a River Otter Looks Like Body: The river otter's long, muscular body is almost cylindrical, barely thinning at the base of the skull. The skeleton is so flexible that an otter can form a complete circle, nose to tail, forward, sideways, or backward. The legs are short and powerful, the tail heavy and long, the head broad and flat. Their short, thick fur is brown, darkest on the upper body and paler and grayish on the belly. of 16 New York River Otter Project Otternet The High Desert Museum enter e-mail address

Yellowstone Otters Home The River Otter Life of the Otter Inside the Hot Zone Resources THE RIVER OTTER 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.

Notebook Home Search Contact Us River Otter The North American river otter Lutra canadensis ) ranges over most of North America north of Mexico. The river (or land) otter is found throughout Alaska with the exception of the Aleutian Islands, the offshore islands of the Bering Sea, and the area adjacent to the arctic coast east of Point Lay. River otters, or other otter species, inhabit most of the rest of the world. All are amphibious members of the family Mustelidae along with mink and sea otter. Animals in this family produce a strong, sometimes disagreeable scent, which is discharged from a pair of anal glands. General description: The North American river otter is a thickset mammal with short legs, a neck no smaller than its head, inconspicuous ears, and a muscular body that is broadest at the hips. Its tail is powerful and a little more than a third as long as its head and body. Only the hind feet are webbed. Adults weigh 15 to 35 pounds (6.8-15 kg) and are 40 to 60 inches (102-152 cm) in length. On the average, females are about 25 percent smaller than males. When prime, river otter fur appears black-brown, with the belly slightly lighter in color than its back. The chin and throat are grayish. Otter fur consists of a very dense undercoat overlaid with longer guard hairs, which are usually removed by furriers.

STATEWIDE: Home What's New! Site Index Search ... Contact Us River Otter Fun Facts Did you know ... ... that river otters spend half of their lives sleeping? That can mean ten years of snoozing for many otters! Well, it takes a lot of rest for the river—or land—otter to protect its reputation for playfulness and activity. River otters do not have tail flippers, but only webbed hind feet. In water, otters are limited to speeds of around six miles per hour, but they can dive to depths of 60 feet and stay submerged for more than four minutes. On land, river otters scoot along at about fifteen miles per hour in a combination of running and sliding. That could wear anyone out. Although their vision is not especially good, river otters have well-developed senses of smell and hearing. They also use their whiskers to detect prey when hunting and obstructions when swimming. And speaking of smell, the animals can discharge a strong, disagreeable scent from a pair of anal glands when threatened or disturbed. So, let those sleeping river otters lie!
