Preliminary data on the ontogeny of some behavioural activities of captive otter cubs

Abstract Two captive otter cubs ( Lutra lutra ), born in October 1992, were followed throughout 9 months, from January to September 1993, in order to study the ontogeny of swimming, hunting and sprainting activities. Cubs were able to swim as adults do at 9 months old. First observed attempts at ind...
