Species Account:
My wife and I observed what we believe to be a River Otter swimming in Big Rainbow Lake. It had a dark brown body with a lighter cheeks and a long tail that ended in a point. We were surprised to see what we think was an otter at such a high elevation! (~8,000 feet). I would love to confirm this if possible. We only have a somewhat low resolution short video of it swimming.
