Searching for a historical reference of otters (Lutra lutra) in the Netherlands.

The death and behaviour prior to death of a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) known by the name of “Zafar” created significant national and international public interest.

Last month, on 3 November 2020, the Dutch government published a revised Red List of Mammals of the Netherlands in the Government Gazette. This is the second revision after the Red Lists of 1994 and 2006, so it can be called the Third Dutch Red List of mammals.

Abstract: The expansion of urban area, accompanied by the development of infrastructure, leads to more fragmented natural living space and isolation of wild populations of plant and animal species, including the badger (Meles meles).
