River otter?

[h2447intx]

Well I work in a plant south of Houston and we have all the normal critters , gaters , snakes, hogs but today I see a fuzzy little friend sitting on the dock

Can't see it very well but it's a river otter

Thought it was pretty cool
Just didnt think we had them thus far south

I have seen them in Crocket nat forest

Any how I'll try to get a video up later

I've seen river otters (roadkill and alive) near I-45 and Cypresswood (cypress creek). A friend of mine got a fresh roadkill mounted. Very cool mount.

See them all the time in the bottoms behing the house. Cool critters!

If he lives in angleton, I think he should know what a nutria looks like

yeah its not a rat i know the diff ,, i have a video of it but i can get it posted yet

will post when i get home if i can

i did talk to a couple guys at work and they said they come and go , ther is a hole family out her !

i videoed him slidding off the dock and he swam about 50 yds under water , and then poped up and rolled over to his back ,,

BTW, If he lives in angleton, I think he should know what a nutria looks like, as there are alot of them around there

Thank you sir for the nice, non sarcastic reply.

I saw my first wild otter in Clarksville about 5 years ago in one of my ponds. I thought that was soooo cool watching the pair play and catch fish while I was deer hunting. It never occured to me that they where going to eat EVERY fish in my pond before they left.
