Scat found at an elevated position near the trail and near water. Scat was oily looking, and it contained a lot of fish scales. I also think I found an anal excretion.
Otter slides all over! Junction of Minnehaha Creek and Lake Nokomis
Could see the thick, round tail when he dove under.
Fish remains. Breaks apart very easily. One of the scat was posted on top of a log, which is behavior I usually associate with raccoon. The scat, however, contained the brownish gelatinous substance characteristic of otter scat.
Sighting by Jim Boulay. The images are screenshots from a video he sent to the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District.
