Aonyx capensis
The African Clawless Otter (Aonyx capensis), also known as the Cape Clawless Otter or Groot Otter, is the second largest freshwater species of otter. They are characterised by partly webbed and clawless feet, from which their name is derived.
African Clawless Otters are found near permanent bodies of water in savannah and lowland forest areas. They range through most of sub-Saharan Africa, except for the Congo basin and arid areas.

I'm Ju Hee Lee, a Korean free lancer writer.
I'm writing a book about otters, especially cultural aspect of it.
I will introduce all species of otter briefly in my book.
But there are few materials in Korea about African otters.
Fortunately I've found amazing photos in this site
I want to use your image of the otter
How should I do to get them? (I need more higher resolution image.)
I'm waiting for your reply. Thank you.
