Climbing up the bank at some spot where it is not too steep. the first other goes to the head of the slide, lies down flat on his stomach, gives a kick with his hind legs, and down he glides, head foremost, into the water. The second follows his leaders example, and then the third, as rapidly as they qan. The bank soon becomes smooth and slippery and the faster they travel the more the qtters enjoy it. They keep on and on until: quite fired out, and will come back to the same- spot day after day, to renew their game. So common is this practice on the part of otters, that the relentless trapper long ago came to know it well and makes a practice of setting his trap just where the poor little beasts leave the water to climb afresh for another slide, and hardly ever fails to secure the loader, generally the old dog-otter.
