The Dowleswaram barrage has emerged as a new habitat for the mammals
An island in the Godavari, upstream Dowleswaram barrage in East Godavari district, has become a safe habitat for vulnerable Indian smooth-coated Otters (Lutrogale perspicillata).
Last week, an amateur wildlife photographer from Rajamahendravaram city, Suresh Kumar Uppuluri, began documenting the movements of the otters on the island.
“I have documented a group of four otters on the island that can only be reached by boat. The otters are a playful lot and hide in the bushes whenever they sense movements of the boat,” said Mr. Suresh Kumar.
