River otters are native to Newfoundland and Labrador and were a favourite at
the Salmonier Nature Park because of their playfulness and willingness to put on
a show for visitors. Last week, the river otter enclosure was closed because
there were no animals there. It looked like beavers had been moved to the
enclosure where the otters used to be and I don't remember seeing a sign for
another enclosure for otters. It would be a shame if there were no otters in
the park these days, because they are not easy to see in the wild. I have never
seen any in all the years I've been hiking in the the forest and near many
rivers in this province. Fortunately I captured a few photos during my trip
there in 2006 and can share them with you today.
