That's otter madness!

I thought that was a funny quote. Still after all this work you'd think they'd have done some sort of study to figure how or why the otters returned to their native environment.

That line really cracked me up too. Clearly this biologist never had a cat.

I'm wondering how many people have had on going battles with squirrels and birdfeeders.
I know my mom constantly has to adapt her set up so that the squirrels don't eat all the bird food.

Yes, revolution has begun. For the American biologists, tomorrow the world!

quote:After waiting for an otter to fall asleep, wildlife crews would sneak up beneath it with a propeller-powered craft manned by a diver and snare it in a net. The otter then would be flown in a chartered plane or driven hundreds of miles to a Northern California beach for re-release. Some died from the stress.

I loved Otters when I was a kid. This is terrible stuff. Maybe I should start a Pro-Otter Life organization. I'm sure it would be so helpful here where I live near no seas, oceans, or rivers.
Well, actually, I do live close to the Meramac River, but it doesn't have any otters.
