Otter of the week
I must apologise for not providing a weekly otter for so long! Today, i give you the marine otter. They live along the coast on Chile and Peru, and are seldom seen. They're about a metre long, and nest on land but hunt at sea. This site has info and pictures: http://tiny.cc/marineotter
Has anyone seen them in the wild? I'd love some travel tips. Apparently, local fishermen are prepared to act as guides - does anyone have tips?
The world is full of majestic beasts, little critters and charismatic megafauna. If you think it's fun to explore the wildlife while you're exploring the world, join us!
