The three species of Indian Otter are easily distinguished. Aonyx by its 

 clawless forefeet: and the two species of Lutra between themselves by the 

 line of demarcation where the hair of the face ceases at the tip of the nose. 

 In Lutra '}nacrodus it is a straight line, but in L. lutra there is a triangular 

 indentation in the centre of the line.
