Front cover of book

This is a good general book about otters. The authors are well-known in international otter conservation and rehabilitation, and many of the details in the book are from personal experience of the many rehabilitators around the world who have worked with IOSF to raise and rehabilitate orphans and injured otters. This is the information that rarely gets into the scientific literature, and makes this book invaluable for otter people, especially those working in the field with individual animals rather than at a more abstract level. The photography is superb!
