- Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The spotted-necked otter (Hydrictis maculicollis), or speckle-throated otter, is an otter native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is a smallish otter 95-105 cm (37-42 in) long, including the tail, and weighing 3 to 6.5 kg (6.6-14.3 lbs). Like other otters it is sleek and has webbed paws for swimming. Its fur is deep brown and marked with light spots around its throat. Africa south of 10 degrees N. Spotted-necked otters are found in lakes, larger rivers and common in Lake Victoria and across Zambia, but for some unexplained reason often absent from what appears to be suitable habitat such as the lakes and rivers of East Africa and the Zambezi below Victoria falls. No evidence of Hydrictis maculicollis venturing into salt water.
