Male otter in search of companion
Chandigarh, May 31
The smooth-coated otter, the most playful and vocal carnivore, seems to be desolate at the Mahendra Chaudhary Zoological Park, Chhat Bir.
A female companion has not been
arranged for him in the past eight years due to decline in its
population. Once found in abundance, the otter is now rare in
rivers, lakes, canals and swamps. The inquisitive creature is
also called the “ambassador” of the wetlands. Unfortunately
its future is threatened by rampant poaching for highly prized
pelts.
