That the animalshould apparently enjoy a regular sort of tobogganslide is almost past ones comprehension. But such isundoubtedly the case.

They slide down in rapidsuccession where there are many at a sliding place.On one occasion we were resting ourselves on thebank of Canoe Creek, a small stream near Henderson,which empties into the Ohio, when a pair of ottersmade their appearance, and, not observing our prox-imity, began to enjoy their sliding pastime. . . . Wecounted each one making twenty-two slides before wedisturbed their sportive occupation. The borders of lakes and streams
