Otters are carnivorous eating a majority of fish, amphibians, crayfish, and shellfish. Their webbed feet allow them to move quickly through water, and are also propelled by their tail, streamlined body, and short, dense fur. Otters are found throughout North America, and will be found in both fresh and in saltwater areas. Otters can have 2-4 pups per year on average, and usually around the spring time. Geographical area and seasonal climates will vary and impact reproduction. Otters do remain active throughout the year.<\/p>\n<h2>Otter Diseases &amp; Concerns<\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"il\">Otters<\/span> are carriers of a number of different diseases, much like other mammals. Bacterial, zoonotic disease, pathogens, and even rabies can be a concern if working around areas where <span class=\"il\">otters<\/span> are present, so common sense and caution should be taken. Some of the bacteria and zoonotic diseases include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Toxoplasmosis<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Leptospirosis<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Rabies<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Giardiasis<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Canine Distemper<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Canine Parvovirus<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Canine Hepatitis<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Other Diseases including parasites from Fleas, Ticks, and Lice.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nashville Otter Removal Greater Nashville otter problems around your koi pond, waterways, pond, stream, lakes, rivers, or hatchery?
