So, there is a dead critter on Burbank near the soccer fields. I could swear it's an otter, but I haven't stopped to perform a necropsy. Has anyone else seen it? Someone stop and take a picture.

Has anyone seen or heard of otters in the Amite basin?

plenty of otters in most freshwater areas of LA
they are small...yours could just as easily be a mink or similar

I have seen it and it definitely looks more like an otter than a Nutria

Otters are everywhere. Lots in saltwater, too.

They're all over. There was one hit by the LSU lakes this spring.

Definitely, we had one that would visit our camp near Fourchon.

Honestly, that was my first thought, as well, but it looked more slender than a beaver. That said, the ditch on the north side of Burbank has been holding water for a while, so there could be some beaver activity going on.

No, I know a tiny bear when I see one.
