LATRINE SITE - Otters in the News

An otter latrine site is like the daily newsstand of the riverbank. Just as people gather information from the news or social media to stay informed about what's happening in their community, otters visit these sites to pick up the latest "news" left behind by others—through scent. Each marking tells a story: who’s been there, whether they’re healthy, ready to mate, or passing through. It’s a rich, smelly bulletin board where otters stay updated on social dynamics, territory boundaries, and potential partners—no Wi-Fi required.
