| Lontra canadensis | North American River Otter | 2021-11-04 | Guy McGrane | 4 | Aquatic mammals were large and brown with very noticeable whiskers, and long round furry tails, also popping up out of the water with heads held high, and catching crayfish and chomping on them at waters edge.

| Lontra canadensis | North American River Otter | 2019-12-05 | Guy McGrane | 3 | Three large mustelids with very long tails in river and on bank, playing together. Large strong swimmers, definitely not muskrats or beavers. First I can remember in the county. - In Yadkin River just below dam at Kerr Scott Reservoir. | 05_Sight | |
