Asuka had some carnivore researchers staying with her last week and together they went to Dupoto Forest to check for tracks.

One of the first tracks they found was the fresh print of a leopard.

But then further along by the river they found another track..

We think it may be a spotted necked otter, which is very possible because the river in the forest runs all year long. It would be a great find as the spotted necked otter is on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
