The ever inquisitive river otter.

An interesting anecdote to this article, about 20 years ago a couple members of the ACO staff assisted the "NY River Otter Project" with introducing several pairs of river otters into the gorge at Letchworth State Park.   They were tagged with tracking devices and park patrons were asked to report any sightings to the front desk at the Visitor Center so the pairs could be monitored. Unfortunately, the batteries died after several years and there haven't been any sightings in some time so the pairs' status is unknown at this time.
