Description
Otter Study – 14 1/4″ x 19″ – 950 Edition Signed and Numbered Paper Prints
“The otter is a favorite animal wherever it is found. It lives in beautiful country, usually along lakes and rivers and even seacoasts. Otters are gregarious, often traveling in family groups and enjoying a strong sense of fun. The otter is perfectly designed for its way of life which is mostly aquatic. The body is long, cylindrical and muscular with a long, strong tail slightly flattened from side to side to use as a rudder and also a propeller. the legs are very short, but the feet are big with webs between the toes. I particularly enjoy their alert expression which seems to suit their lively and active behavior.” – Robert Bateman
