The yaharan river otter (Lontra provocax) is a species of otter that lives in Yaxarhayut, Upper Yahara, Heoroma, and Yakormonyo. While it is called a "river otter", this is in reference to its habitation along the Yaharan river valley, and the otter itself inhabits both marine and freshwater environments.
Description
This otter grows up to approximately 70 cm long, with a tail that can add up to 40 cm of length. Their body weight averages from 5-10 kg. On their top side, their fur is a dark brown colour, with a lighter brownish-red colour on the underside.
Behaviour
Male yaharan river otters tend to be solitary, though females will live with their young in family groups. On average, their litters consist of one to two pups, though they can contain up to four. Their diet includes birds, crustaceans, fish, and mollusks.
