Description:

The food habits of the otter Lutra lutra (Linnaeus, 1758) have been studied by the analysis of their faeces in both: Guadelmez and Cuzna rivers, in Sierra Boyera Reservoir, and a stream called Garcia, all situated in the Central Sierra Morena. The diet varies little, being composed of six main categories of prey listed here in order of importance in the diet: fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects, birds and mammals. In four zones studied, the existence of seasonal variations in the diet has been observed.
