Lontra canadensisNorth American River Otter2020-03-08Amy Dickson, Becky Dickson and Walt Dickson1Spotted the otter by our dock and it moved in the water along about 400 feet. Watched it move onto land into the salt marsh where it disappeared. We have seen otters on our property at least once a year since we bought our home 8 years ago. - North Topsail Beach sound side close 05_Sight
