Abstract.

Diet composition and feeding habits of Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra) living on three moors (Baláta, Nagyberek and Fehérvíz) in Hungary were studied over two years using spraint analysis (n = 199, 503 and 315 samples from the three moors, respectively). The food and presence of otters in the first moderate and second drought year, when the moors dried during the summer period, generally differed. Area-dependent variations in the diet were also found. The primary food source...
