    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: © 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

    Extractions: © 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

    Extractions: THE RIVER OTTER (Lutra canadensis) The river otter, found in the United States and Canadian waterways, is a sub-species of the Otter (Lutrinae), which belongs to the martens (Mustelidae) family. The river otter is called Nutria del Canada or Nutria Norteamerica (Spanish), Lontre du Canada (French), Kanada-Otter or Nordamerikanischer Fischoter (German) and Lontre Canadese (Italian). River otters have existed for a long time. Their fossils date back to the Pleistocene period. Archeological remains have been uncovered from 200 BC to the mid-1400s. Otters are expert swimmers and divers, swimming at an average speed of seven miles per hour and staying underwater for up to 2 minutes. Unlike muskrats or beavers, the otter barely makes a ripple when swimming or splash when diving. Their specially built ears and nose have a valve-like skin that closes and keeps the otter watertight underwater. The otters nose is diamond shaped, with two nostrils at the bottom of the nose. Otters communicate with their noses, mainly by smelling marked territories. When they do talk, it is with chirps, chuckles, grunts, whistles and screams. River otters are most active from early evening through early morning. They are active all year, even in the cold Alaskan winters. Otters play more than most wild animals wrestling, chasing other otters, tossing and diving for rocks and clamshells, toying with live prey and occasionally, sliding.

35. An Otter Family Album
    My critters are North American otters of the species Lontra canadensis what are commonly referred to as river otters .  
    http://www.otters.net/
    
    Extractions: (updated August 18, 2005) That's me, the happy fellow with the otter in his shirt. My name is Scott Shannon, and for the last 22 years, I have observed a population of seacoast-dwelling otters in far-northwest California. These are not the familiar sea otters of the central California coast. My critters are North American otters of the species Lontra canadensis - what are commonly referred to as "river otters". From the beginning of my observations in June, 1983, to the end of June, 2005, I've seen my otters 4,616 times, which is probably more than any other living person has seen these animals in their natural state. It has been the greatest privilege of my life to chronicle the history of 5 generations of otters here. And where is "here"? I'm not saying, at least not publically. I have no wish for the world to intrude on these unique animals and their home. It is a rare and precious thing to be able to directly observe wild otters at such close range. The otters are so easy to watch precisely because people here don't bother them, so they have no reason to hide themselves. In these pictures, you will see that the otters live in close association with humans, at least during the summer months. Don't let the manmade props deceive you; this drama is very real. These otters may appear tame, but it is more accurate to describe them as casual. Humans are a neutral presence to them. They pay so little attention to people, I don't think they even recognize me, despite my having been in their immediate proximity on literally thousands of occasions.

    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.  
    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.
