Figure /.--Freezing weather, causing ice to cover the holding pool, 
necessitated frequent removal of ice to permit the otters access to 
open water. No ill effects resulted to otters as long as their fur 
remained clean and water-repellent. (KWK 59-3-1) 

Figure 8.--Cages having false bottoms, one otter to each cage, were 
used to transplant seven otters from Amchitka to St. Paul Island on 
20 May 1959. The R4D cabin temperature was held at 48° to 50° F. 
and otters were given only water during flight. All were liberated 
in excellent condition and survived. (KWK 59-15-13)
