The river as plaintiff speaks for the ecological unit of life that is part of it. -- William O. Douglas
Otter is the most brilliant mix of facts ancient and modern about the otter species and its vulnerability to man's seemingly insatiable need to hunt the poor animal for reasons other than survival.

A fascinating and illuminating book. -- Virginia McKenna
We are game-playing, fun-having creatures, we are the otters of the universe. -- Richard Bach
