- Why otters patrol their territories and fight for them
- Breeding, natural history and behaviour
- Unusual otter information: blind otters, the work of otter groups, the difficulties of introducing otters in the wild, their surprising ability to live close to man
- Otters as predators – their impact on fish stocks, the difficulty of fish-hunting in cold water, their favourite foods
- Tracking otters through their prints, and through their spraints
- Helping the otter to survive in the 21st century
