A novel tracing the life story of Samaki, a Spotted-Necked Otter, in Tanzania. it is based on the author's own research - he studied these otters in the wild, and kept them in captivity as Curator of Mammals at New York and Chicago, and was a friend of Dorothy Wisbeski and Okee the Otter. The book tells of the trials of a young otter's life in an environment where the crocodile is top of the food chain and partial to young otters.
