[pounds] L. [Length] 48 1/4 in. [inches] 21 in. [inches] 5 1/2 in. [inches] Mayne Isl. [Island], BC. [British Columbia] June 15, 1968. In mid afternoon was attracted by a loud + continuous whistling chirp from the beach. Then found a she otter with two kits. She carried each in turn from the open beach to the shelter of a large boulder. From there she carried them to an adjacent even larger boulder - some 8' square beneath which she appeared to have a den. She was under there for about 2-3 minutes then came out the far side alone + went under still another stone where she remained. The two may intercommunicate. The young were about mink size, much darker than her. She carried by the nape or upper shoulder with the kits body + tail trailing between her legs.
