aimed toward naturalists, scientists and conservationists, its own type and generously illustrated textual content will entice amateurs and execs alike. It emphasizes fresh study and conservation administration projects for all thirteen species of otter world wide, comprises contemporary molecular study on taxonomy and inhabitants genetics, and discusses the broader implications of otter experiences for ecology and conservation biology.
in addition to spell binding direct observations of the animals, there's suggestions approximately how and the place to observe and research them. From otters within the British and American lakes and rivers, to sea otters within the Pacific Ocean, massive otters within the Amazon and different species in Africa and Asia, this booklet presents a fascinating method of their interesting life, to the technological know-how had to know it, and to the very actual threats to their survival.
