Something new. This river otter carcass was found on the shoreline of an estuary in Northern California. The purplish coloring on the teeth occurs post-mortem, likely from the carcass being submerged for some time. The color on only the top teeth indicates dorsal recumbency (floating on its back).
Here's a romp of river otters romping around.

Thanks to Catie Clune for the report and photo.
