The Otter

This film offers a subject which is at one and the same time entertaining and educational. The otter builds its home in the ground on the banks of a stream where large fish are numerous. A peculiar trait of the otter is to seize by the head the fish it preys upon, and it has an amusing difficulty telling the head from the tall of an eel. The otter's fur is of great value, and for that reason the animal is relentlessly pursued by trappers, and the method of his capture is aptly illustrated. The perfect photography and hand coloring of the film makes it additionally attractive as an educational offering.
