Otters

Wildlife in the Küre Mountains National Park, located between the eastern Black Sea province of Bartın and Kastamonu, is being observed with 50 motion-triggered cameras located across the 37,000-square meter park. 

The fossil of a sea otter has been found in the Central Anatolian province of Çankırı, revealing 8 million years of animal life in the area.

The excavations, headed by Professor Ayla Sevim Erol of the Anthropology Department at Ankara University, have been ongoing in the area for the last 17 years.
