I did know there used to be otter hunts and nowadays otter hounds are either endangered or extinct as a dog breed because they is no use for them anymore. Also in the UK there was a famous wildlife presenter called Terry Nutkins was sent off by his parents to live with Williamson when he was a teenager. Nutkins was also missing the tops off two of his fingers after otters bit them off. It's pleasing Williamson has written a novel about animals that isn't anthropomorphic. Not that there is anything wrong w/ anthropomorphic animals;) I get annoyed by books in the animal section of book shops really being about the writer's journey: human element begone please!(!).
