River otters are making a comeback in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Officials say the animals are being spotted in growing numbers in the Beaver Marsh area after being hunted to near-extinction in Ohio in the 1900s.
Their return is being hailed as a sign of the Cuyahoga River's improving health, as they prefer unpolluted water with plenty of fish to eat.
