 Yellowstone Pictures & Trip Reports : Summer 2004 Photos

River Otter
Lontra canadensis
Otters are adept swimmers (duh)... we saw this one swim casually in a straight line, diving occasionally, and he suddenly came up with a fish. They're also very playful creatures, and obviously not too shy... he swam right to us with his catch.
