Happy World Otter Day! Meet Odette the Otter, the only furry member of BTNEP's Crtter Krewe, which can be found in swamps, bayous, and marshes throughout !
When you think of the Estuary's wildlife, otters might not be the first to come to mind, but did you know that Louisiana hosts one of the healthiest populations of the North American river otter in the entire country?! This is largely because of the abundance of food to eat. They have great taste, too — filling their bellies with the delicious crawfish, frogs, and fish of our Estuary! 🦞 🐸 🐟
