Abstract

We documented the first voucher specimen of a North American river otter (Lontra canadensis) in Payne County, Oklahoma. We deposited the specimen in the Oklahoma State University Collection of Vertebrates. The discovery of this specimen demonstrates a continued growth of the distribution of river otters within Oklahoma into new areas and those in which the species had been previously extirpated.

Documentamos el primer espécimen de una nutria de río norteamericana (Lontra canadensis) del condado de Payne, Oklahoma. Depositamos el espécimen en la Colección de Vertebrados de Oklahoma State University. El descubrimiento de este espécimen demuestra un crecimiento continuo de la distribución de nutrias dentro de Oklahoma en áreas de distribución nuevas y en las que la especie estaba previamente extirpada.
