A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Lontra canadensis
They build their homes along river edges or between the roots of trees. Sometimes, they take over a den abandoned by a beaver or a muskrat. Whatever the case, there is always an underwater entrance.
These pictures were taken at a zoo. This river otter is a captive animal. Located on the western tip of the Island of Montreal, the Ecomuseum zoo offers its visitors a unique and natural experience. It is operated by the St. Lawrence Valley Natural History Society, a not-for-profit organization with a mission that focuses on education, research and applied conservation. You will discover and get intimate glimpses into the lives of more than 115 species of live animals native to Quebec’s St. Lawrence Valley.
