A couple of days ago I saw an otter swim across our pond get out and chase a buzzard.  They are fast.  Just yesterday I was fishing a river and a couple of otters were swimming where I was fishing; I left.

    I have seen wild otters in the Everglades, they are awesome animals.

    I attempted to feed the resident Otter a Bluegill I caught. This was in Orlando Florida in February 2019

     

    Awesome animal. No feeding them people food was the rule.

    There are otters in the local reservoir and I've seen them in groups herding a big ball of shad. I'm not sure hey were catching and/or eating any of them though. if they were, they are probably eating the bass fry too. The California Delta has a problem with seals now. Lately guys have reported seeing multiple seals in the sloughs. The seals definitely are eating the bass as guys have seen them come up for air with bass up to 10#. They just eat the stomach area and ignore the rest of the fish. Yes, it is illegal to shoot them

    There are otters all over Tennessee, an extremely successful reintroduction took place in the 90s. If y’all have any problems give me a call! We have removed them from marinas where they were pooping all over high dollar boats

    I saw one Monday morning. First I ever saw outside a zoo or something like that. Little guy. It was pretty sweet.
