River Otters

Otters are adorable. At least they otter be.

For a few weeks in February of 2003, a trio of River Otters lived on the island in the small pond in Northstar Park. They returned for at least one visit after that, but I don't believe they have been seen since. The otters were documented in Jean Jackman's Davis Enterprise column, At The Pond.

River otters can also be seen at the Vic Fazio Yolo Wildlife Area swimming in various canals. They enjoy barking at passerbys and swimming along side your vehicle.
