%X Little is known about otters in Iran. OF the existing publications based on hunting data, one considres otters are only in the northeast and a nature reserve on the Afghanistan border, and the other considers that otters are widespread throughout all but the central desert and fringes of the Persian Gulf. Smooth coated otters may also be present, which hunters may not distinguish from Eurasian otters. A forthcoming set of expeditions should clarify the position.
