Many mammals, such as otters, live in close association with rivers
and streams, feeding in them, or using them as a place of safety or
means of escape from predators. The distinct adaptations that
riparian mammals have evolved in order to live in these
environments also handicap them for living elsewhere. These animals
are therefore threatened by alterations to their environment. In
recent years, our rivers have become highly polluted, and have been
subject to bankside modifications for agriculture and forestry,
enhanced or decreased water flow, and recreation. As a result, they
have become less and less suitable for these highly specialized
animals. This book looks at the habitat utilization, adaptation,
feeding ecology, and conservation status of a range of riparian
mammals. It gives insights into the problems facing these
fascinating animals, and how they might be overcome.
