Otters, beavers and semi-aquatic mammals of Bouches-du-Rhône
Did you know that the Bouches-du-Rhône is the playground for many semi-aquatic mammals, like the ragondin easily observable, but also discreet castor d’Europe and some European otter which makes a timid reappearance. Robin Lhuillier of the LPO (League for the Protection of Birds) tells us about the customs and biology of these animals that are so popular with us, on the occasion of a videoconference, Wednesday February 10 at 8 p.m. (free registration by mail). And you, have you ever had the chance to observe a beaver, an otter or a nutria in our rivers? Testify on 04 42 38 08 08.
