How retired the otter manages to live here!
The Barbary otter is present in the Majerda and in some of the salt lakes.
You can easily recognize the paw print of the otter by the webbed toes.
Otter with the water hairs removed, the strongest fur suited for linings, is here taken as the standard.
Here are to be found yak, wild asses (kyang), several varieties of deer, musk deer and Tibetan antelope (Pantholops); also wild sheep (the bharal of the Himalaya), Ovis hodgsoni and possibly Ovis poli, together with wild goats, bears (in large numbers in the north-eastern districts), leopards, otter, wolves, wild cats, foxes, marmots, squirrels, monkeys and wild dogs.
