Will Brake for Otters!

Otter Crossing Sign in the UK

While searching for some fun new otter photos, which you will find under the Otter Photos section of the blog, I came across the above photo.  This is an otter crossing sign found in the United Kingdom (UK).  The UK is home to the Eurasian river otter (Lutra lutra) , which is a one of the 13 otter species and is listed at Near Threatened with ICUN Red List.  According to ICUN one of the many reasons for the decline of the Eurasian river otter is car strikes.  This is a good thing to remember if you live in river otter habitat.  As successful reintroduction projects bring otters back to areas populated by humans we must remember to brake for otters!
