An otter, a species at risk of extinction, was found dead on the roadside in the Siverek district of Şanlıurfa. Initial assessments suggest it may have been hit by a vehicle, while the lack of a water source in the area drew attention.
A dead otter was found on the roadside in the Üstüntaş District area, approximately 10 kilometers from the Siverek district. According to initial examinations, it is believed that the otter, which is under threat of extinction, may have been hit by a vehicle.
THE NEAREST EUPHRATES RIVER IS 30 METERS AWAY
Meanwhile, the absence of any river or water source in the region drew attention. Since the point where the otter was found is about 30 kilometers from the Euphrates River, how the animal came to this area became a subject of curiosity.
It was noted that the habitats of otters, which are among the important species of natural life and under protection, are gradually shrinking.
