Following the Current: A Bioregional History of the Fox River from the Pleistocene to the Present

68 historical life span of the River Otter, combined with the fact that River Otters by nature are rather selective animals, ones that prefer to stay away from human involvement and locations with large amounts of pollution, the fact that sightings today are as high as they’ve been for over 100 years is fantastic news, and can indicate that the reintroduction of River Otters not only helped save the species itself but also the rivers that they reside in, like the Fox. Therefore, we should look towards protecting, studying, and handing these creatures with more care than ever before, as they could bring about further improvements to polluted rivers across the country.
