Vet College helps New York's otter restoration project

By Roger Segelken

River olters, the bewhiskered aquatic mammals remem­ bered for their playful sport of tobogganing down stream banks, are returning to central and western New York Waters, the result ofa population restoration program ofthe College of Veterinary Medicine, the state Department of Environmental Conservation and the non-profit New York River Olter Project Inc. ''This brings the riverotterback home after an absenceof 100 years," said River Otter Project President Dennis J. Money, announcing the first release on Oct. 5 of two olters into the Seneca River near Montezuma National Refuge. 'This is a historic first," he said. The otters are being captured through October in the Adirondack and Catskill mountains by specially licensed trappers who work with the DEC on the reintroduction program. From these areas - where a relatively abundant population survives since being extirpated from most ofthe rest of the state by loss of habitat and degradation of water quality, as well as unregulated trapping in the late-1800s­ the animals are transported to a wildlife facility at the veterinary college. "We give the otters complete physical exams, checking for parasites and evidence of other infectious diseases and Adriana Ro\'1'r IUnilcr i/y Photography treating any diseases we find," explained George V.
