Local otter sightings

Posted by Paula Scott on Thursday, December 30, 2021

Social media made the Icon aware of river otters being sighted by local photographers. A call from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources confirmed that in recent years the otter population has spread into northwest Ohio.

ODNR Wildlife research technician Sara Zaleski noted that otters seek clean, high quality water and that their presence is a good reflection on area water conditions.

In the early 20th century, otters were trapped out of existence (extirpated) in Ohio. In 1986, they were reintroduced by a program that brought otters to the eastern parts of the state. Since then, those populations and Michigan and Indiana populations have spread into our area.
