Say hello to my little friend. I named him "you little @#$%$# rat #$)$#@ otter, get off of my boat!", because the @#$%$# rat #$)$#@ otter wouldn't stay off of my boat at Elk this year. Well not until he pulled a blue from off of my line. The thing is, I didn't catch jack when he wasn't around. Maybe I should have been more accepting of his presence.

Those are newts not a water dog. Just to let you know they are among the most poisonous newts which can cause paralysis or even death if you ingest its poison. So if you touch them wash your hands. The scientific name is taricha torosa or the  common name is California newt.

Post by: tallpaul on October 25, 2007, 11:52:01 AM
California newts...such pretty little guys. I've handled them many times, but I guess I'll be more careful in the future. I've seen many of them marching in the same direction in the fall, migrating I assume. Fun thing is, you can pick them up, spin them around, point them in any random direction, and they find their way back to the direction they were heading, every time. How do they know?  It doesn't seem to be the direction of the sun, because they behave the same under overcast skies, or forest canopy. Magnetic field? Built in compass?

So are those the same guys I've always found in very cold water, (all over in Oregon, and in cold sierra lakes?)  or are those actually water dogs?  They look similar.

I missed this one before.  Let me get this straight. They tried to touch a wild river otter with pups and when they got bitten and scratched the otter was hunted down and killed, "just to be safe"?  Um...

On a lighter note, this seagull had some evil designs on my sandwich and just hovered in the wind like this for a few minutes:
