IUCN OTTER SPECIALIST GROUP BULLETIN
The river otter, Lutra canadensis, is found only in North America where it is distributed over much of the continent from Florida north to the arctic tundra. In Canada, river otters were present in all major waterways until at least the 18th century (Toweill and Tabor, 1982). During the 1800's...
