Otters are the top predators in wetlands. Otters have an essential ecological role in preserving the species richness of their food web. The availability of prey species in the habitat influences otter prey selection. Because of the cultivation stage, paddy fields in the tropical area have a distinct temporal seasonality. Consequently, information...
