Abstract:

In the article the author discusses the other North Carolina aquatic carnivore which is the River Otter which can be found in the sand hills of North Carolina. The author states that they set up a game camera near a beaver pond to capture picture and videos of the Otter population in the area. The pond the author was refereeing to was located off their late grandmother’s farm and the beavers had created an aquatic oasis for animals like wood ducks, turtles, and fish. The author states that they came across an otter latrine which was filled with fish bone and scales. The author states the purpose of an otter latrine is a social hub for otters and it allows for them to know who is nearby and who has had babies and who is ready to have babies. The author set up the game camera pointing towards the otter latrine in hopes to capture pictures and videos of the local otters. The author stated that they visited the location over the next couple months and the game camera had captured hundreds of pictures and videos. The main otter the camera captured was seen to be a male and he would visit the latrine at all hours of the day. The author theorized that the male otter was doing this behavior to possibly advertise his availability to possible females in the area.
