OTTER

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 352 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
OTTER , RIvER.--The size varies considerably, as does the under-
wool
  and the top
hair
 , according to the country of origin. There are few rivers in the world where they do not live. But it is in the colder northern regions that they are found in the greatest numbers and with the best fur or underwool, the top
hair
 , which, with the exception of the scarce and very
rich
  dark brown specimens they have in common with most aquatic animals, is pulled out before the skins are manufactured. Most of the best river otter comes from Canada and the United States and averages 36 X18 in. in size. Skins from Germany and
China
  are smaller, and shorter in the
wool
 . The
colours
  of the under wools of river otters vary, some being very dark, others almost yellow. Both as a fur and as a pelt it is extremely strong, but owing to its short and close wool it is usually made up for the linings, collars and cuffs of men's coats. A large number of skins, after unhairing, is dyed seal colour and used in America. Those from hot climates are very poor in quality. Value 28s. to 118s.
