OTTERS AS ANGLERS.
Claw at Catching Finny Pray
and Dainty In Eating It.
Hunters and trappers have so de-
fur bearing animals that few
are left who catch and eat fish, and
it is fortunate the otter is now com-
scarce in our northeast-
states, for he is a terrible and
persevering foe to fish. He is so
dainty that he will frequently kill
several fish in a day, devour-
only those portions which, best
please his palate, leaving the re-
on the water side to be-
come the prey of other fish loving
creatures.
For the pursuit of his finny prey
the otter is admirably adapted by
nature. The body is lithe and
the feet are furnished with
a broad web that connects the toes,
which are of infinite service in pro-
the animal through the
the tail is long, broad and flat,
and the short, legs are so
loosely jointed that it can turn
them in almost any direction. The
hair of the body is of two kinds
one a close, fine, soft fur, which
lies next to the skin, protecting it
from extreme heat or cold, and the
other composed of long,
coarse hair, which permits the
to glide easily through water.
The teeth are sharp and powerful,
preventing the slippery prey from
escaping so that the quick and
nary fish fall easy victims to the
i superior aquatic powers. So
does it glide into, the water
scarcely a ripple is seen to mark
the time and place of its entrance,
and on emerging upon the shore its
