The end result is a greasy, malodorous trail of fish bone- and scale-laden poop and musky discharge left all over the deck. In the winter, it loves to poop all over the 8x8 beam used to prop up some smaller boats. It sometimes goes long periods without a visit, but it always returns.

Due to its sleuth, we've dubbed it "Ninja Otter."

My daughter did the police sketch below.
That's a great sketch!!!
