• Otters of the World

This book gives an excellent overview on Lontra felina. For those that are able to read Spanish a wealth of information on characteristics of the species, ecology and conservation aspects in Southern Peru is presented. The book has been published private by the author. For further information please contact José Pizarro directly (josepizarroneyra@gmail.com).

This is a good general book about otters. The authors are well-known in international otter conservation and rehabilitation, and many of the details in the book are from personal experience of the many rehabilitators around the world who have worked with IOSF to raise and rehabilitate orphans and injured otters. This is the information that rarely gets into the scientific literature, and makes this book invaluable for otter people, especially those working in the field with individual animals rather than at a more abstract level. The photography is superb!
