Not sure why you say that? Because it certainly is an otter.

Well, then.... what do you think it might be? What other fur bearing mammal is nearly 3' long and lives in Connecticut? :confused3:

It's an otter, they're great critters and the fur used to bring in some good money. Here in southern Michigan we're limited to one per season and have to have them inspected by the DNR if they are caught.

This one was my first so it didn't get sold.
