Open publisher page 12 citations

Abstract

Abstract The otter is common and widespread in northern Tunisia and the Oued Medjerda effectively represents a southern limit for the species. The distribution of otters is largely coincident with dense bankside cover, provided mainly by Nerium oleander. Rivers south of the O. Medjerda offer little shelter for the animals.
