Although once near extinction, they have begun to spread again starting from the California coast.
A sub-species otter Lutrogale perspicillata maxwelli (Maxwell's otter - named after British naturalist Gavin Maxwell) is thought to have lived in the Tigris-Euphrates alluvial salt marsh of Iraq.
It has been suggested that this may have become extinct as a result of the large scale drainage that has taken place since the 1960s.

Unlike Family: Mustelidae most marine mammals (seals, for example, or whales), otters do not have a layer of insuating Subfamily: Lutrinae blubber, and even the marine Sea Otter must come Genera ashore regularly to wash its coat in fresh water.
Amblonyx Aonyx Fish is the primary item in the diet of most Enhydra otters, supplemented by frogs, crayfish, and Lontra crabs; some have become expert at opening Lutra shellfish, and others will take any small mammals Lutrogale or birds that happen to be available.
To survive Pteronura in the cold waters where many otters live, the specialised fur is not enough: otters have very high metabolic rates and burn up energy at a profligate pace: Eurasian Otters, for example, must eat 15% of their body weight a day; Sea Otters, 20 to 25%, depending on the temperature.

Its success generated a trilogy of declining qualities ( Ring of Bright Water, Raven Seek thy Brother and The Rocks Remain).
The pity is that it also linked Maxwell indelibly with otters in the minds of readers (he even had a type of otter named after him, the Lutrogale perspicillata maxwelli).
There was a lot more to the wildly impulsive Maxwell — "poet, painter, shark-hunter, naturalist, traveller, secret agent and aristocratic opter-out" in the words of his biographer Douglas Botting — than the sentimental otter tag suggests.

 BirdForum - Ruddy Duck Cull
Unfortunately, the other populations are all either too small (in that even a relatively minor ecological disaster could wipe them out) or they are located in politically unstable regions.
Indeed, the population in southern Iraq may already be extinct (along with the smooth-coated otter subspecies Lutrogale perspicillata maxwelli) for example.
The breeding distribution map for the Ruddy Duck showing distribution restricted to west of the great plains is misleading.
