Lontra
Lontra is a genus of otters from the American continent.
The genus comprises four species:
- North American river otter (Lontra canadensis)
- southern river otter (Lontra provocax)
- Neotropical otter (Lontra longicaudis)
- marine otter (Lontra felina)
These species were previously included in the genus Lutra, together with the European otter, but they have now been moved to a separate genus.
