Non-otter at Leslie St Spit

[bosh]

It's a beaver. Thanks for the correction Feathered... aquatic animals start looking alike when wet  :lol:

This animal was swimming around in a shallow area of water on the Northwest side of the Spit on 3/25, towards dusk.

As exciting as otters at the Spit would be, that is indeed a beaver.

This time it may have been a beaver, but don't be surprised if you do see otters at the Spit. Last year I watched two otters cross the east path beside the spine road. They were very close to me, so no mistaking them for mink, which are less than half the size.

Umm...that's Tessie.
