Figure 3.--Young otters were held experimentally on wire mesh and 
trained to eat from pans. In spite of daily washing by hand their 
fur became severely worn and matted. (KWK 55-18-3) 

Figure 4. In 1956 this pool was constructed in an old building. Water 
was supplied for several hours daily. Eventual fur soiling and lack 
of sufficient free air circulation prevented proper drying of fur. 
Animals survived for 2 to 3 weeks in this enclosure but all eventually 
died. (KWK 56-12-28)
