Text Appearing Before Image:
and webbed to a point opposite to the root of the claws inthe fore feet. The palms are entirely hairy, except the central portions whichare naked. The characteristics of the hind feet are much like those of the forefeet. The fur is of a soft brown colour ; the under fur is, however, decidedly lighter. The habits of the otter are decidedly aquatic and its movements in the waterare marvellous. It is a great destroyer of fish, and is so dainty in the matter of food that itwill eat only the choicest parts of the fish it kills, leaving the remainder to rot onthe river bank. The nest of the otter is found in hollows under the banks of the river, butthe animal never burrows, its claws being too weak for any such purpose. The fur of the otter is very valuable, and for this reason it is hunted in-cessantly, so much so, that as far as Ontario is concerned the animal is almostextinct. The breeding season occurs in March and the young are born in April, fromthree to five being produced at a time.
