Description

The otter is a creature of playful character and agile movement, its image deeply ingrained in our collective imagination. However, this beloved animal has also been subject to hunting for its fur and to prevent it from preying on fish. This book offers a fresh perspective on the otter's story, exploring its history, cultural significance, and conservation efforts through a wide range of images and examples. From nature and culture to folklore, sports, and literature, numerous examples are presented in this engaging study. The author sheds new light on the ongoing struggle against otter hunting and the efforts being made to protect these animals. With its lively tone and diverse content, Otter provides a thought-provoking look at an endangered species. Through its pages, you'll discover the complexities of the otter's relationship with humans and the natural world. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about this remarkable animal and its place in our world.
