I can't believe the BL catalog is how I find out scientists have discovered
some land-dwelling species of otter

Seriously though, shouldn't they be under Animal, Water? Their habitat classifications
range from semiaquatic to marine.

If seals are in the "Animal, Water" category, then otters should probably
be, also, since both types of animals are semiaquatic to aquatic/marine.

We will discuss it and get back to you.

If we decide to change them, they will all be added to the next batch of items
that will be moved in November.

Cheers,
Randy

Don't they live on land, but spend time in water near river banks (thinking
of fresh water otters). A bit like penguins that also get classed as land animals.
But then alligators get classed as water animals.
