Hairy nosed otter (Lutra sumatrana)
This otter is called the hairy nosed otter because its
rhinarium is covered with hair. It once occurred from southern Thailand
and Indochina through Malaysia and Indonesia. In 1998 it was thought to be
extinct but projects funded by IOSF have found the species in Thailand and
Vietnam and recently it has also been found in Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia.
It varies from a
reddish chestnut colour to very dark chocolate brown with a very small white
throat patch.
The Hairy nosed
otter lives in a vast wetland ecosystem and in Vietnam this can be divided into
four main habitats.
