Lontra is a genus of otters from the American continent.[1]
The genus comprises four species:
- North American River Otter (Lontra canadensis)
- Southern River Otter (Lontra provocax)
- Neotropical Otter (Lontra longicaudis)
- Marine Otter (Lontra felina)
These species were previously included in the genus Lutra, together with the European Otter, but they have now been moved to a separate genus.
