Yes… weird, I know, but here are some photographs of Neotropical Otter (Lontra longicaudis) sign taken during some field work on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica.  These are not recent photographs, but throwbacks…

The scat was interesting: lots of pieces and parts of shrimp are included.  We encountered several otters in various rivers throughout the Osa, and one hadn’t noticed us as we seined for characids (a type of fish we were interested in collecting) and missed running into my leg in ~4 feet of water by a hair….  But they were always too fast to photograph, so this will have to do…
