The hairy-nosed otter (Lutra sumatrana) is an otter thought extinct in 1998 but more were found. They were found in 2006, living in a small group in Toluca Lake. They also live in Java, Borneo, Sumatra, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and Indonesia. Since this otter is so rare, it is unknown what they feed on. It is assumed their diet is similar to other otter species.
[edit] Threats
Major threats to this species are from humans. Fishing, crop cultivation, pollution, hunting for their pelts, adversely affected this species.
