Author(s):
Abstract:
River otters, one of the largest members of the weasel family, are found throughout most of North Carolina. Although popular information on otters is abundant, there are very few scientific facts about their biology, population status, and ecology. Biologists at North Carolina State University are studying the otters to inform management.
