Christian Cline Christian’s section in this book consists of river otters' relationships to the Fox River, and all their history surrounding the Fox River overall. He chose this because first off, otters are amazing, but also because after doing a bit of beginner’s research, Christian discovered that the history of river otters not just in the Fox River, but also the entirety of the state of Illinois is actually quite unique, so he hopes you'll enjoy his section.
