DON BALKE (B. 1933) "RIVER OTTER"Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "River Otter" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. Wildlife of the 50 States 22c River Otter/Florida stamp issued June 13, 1987. In a rare moment of rest, a solitary River Otter may be found relaxing along a riverbank. Normally frisky, River Otters express themselves with a wide range of vocalizations as they frolic in and around their river home. Strong and wiry, River Otter's have adapted to their watery environment. They possess special muscles for closing their ears and nostrils against water, and the elastic webbing between their toes makes them excellent divers and swimmers. They also possess numerous bristly whiskers which are sensitive to water temperature and turbulence. River Otters use these special strengths along with their incredible dexterity during their daily fishing expeditions. River Otters slip into the water and drive their prey toward the shallows with their streamlined bodies. Then, using their powerful claws, they quickly kill the flailing fish. Unlike Sea Otters which are more gregarious and extremely social, River Otters prefer a solitary lifestyle, and only pair up for a short while during the breeding season.
