Otter eating a large Salamander

[Ira Runyan]

At the Viera Wetlands today, it was a day for Otters. A family of 5 were present, and one had captured a Salamander about 3' in length.

Few people have ever seen one of Florida's giant Salamanders. More information on them can be seen at edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pdffiles/UW/UW16800.pdf
