Is hard for me to choose just one animal, but if I have to, it will be the otter, because it`s a cute and nice animal and also it collaborate with environmental vigilance. This mammal is a very interesting animal and I`ve liked it since I watched it in a TV show, colled Maravillozoo.
The otter is part of the Chilean fauna, inhabiting from the north coast to Cape Horn island. In this country we have 2 species: one of then inhabit near to rivers and the other one is marine, they are: the huillín (Lotra provocax) and the chungúngo (Lontra felina), respectively.
For the purpose of explain why I like this animal I will mention some characteristics about it and I will refer to the situation in Chile, specially about the conservation.
Although otter doesn`t looks like a hunter, it is, actually it`s a carnivorous animal, it eat small fishes and crustaceans helped with its funny whiskers, therefore its appearance can be deceptive, what is very interesting . It`s an animal principally nocturnal, it pass the day sleeping, and when is getting dark it hunt its food. Its coat is dark brown with gold shades, it`s very dense and this works like a water insulating, so it`s beautiful and useful as well.
Another important and curious characteristic of this animals is the fact that they are “sentry animals” because the presence of otters in a place is a water`s purity indicative, because when this is contaminated, they leave the place and they move to cleaner water. So they help us to monitor the environment.
Sadly, in Chile, the otters population and many others species are fragmented because of the environmental destruction, human disruption and illegal hunt, therefore this is an endangered specie. We can realize about that, because the population is decreasing in an alarming way. The conservation is one of our works like vets, and we must take part in projects addressed to protect our flora and fauna, for example generating stronger animal protections laws, monitoring demography changes in a way that make possible to act timely, and so on.

Wow!!! I didn't think that someone else would also make their assignment about otters!!! =D (although I wrote about a species that lives in the northern hemisphere). Otters are so unbelievably adorable!!! I Adore them!
Chilean otters ought to be more protected! I agree with you 100% when you say that it is our duty as veterinarians to protect our flora and fauna (that is actually the area that I love the most about our career).
