• Distance travelled by otters from river banks in Tanzania

Distance travelled by otters from river banks in Tanzania

I am studying the potential impact of hunting on clawless otters in southern Tanzania and trying to evaluate whether harvesting is sustainable. To do this I am trying to calculate a buffer along the rivers where otters are found. Not being able to verify quickly how far from the river bank an otter can go, I was wondering if I could ask your advice on this matter. Do you know how far otters can go from river banks? Many thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,
