The Eurasian otter is listed at Near endangered mostly because of human hunting and water pollution. Why would people want to kill them? The answer is what drives everybody to do things. Money. Killing otters and selling the fur can lead to 120 to 140 dollars on average. Kill two of them and you could probably make near three hundred dollars. Another reason why the Eurasian otter is extinct is because of water pollution, also because of humans. Because Eurasian otters need to live in relatively clean areas, the Eurasian otter population is decreasing by a lot. The pollution pressures the otters to move out to find cleaner waters or try to adapt to the dirty water.
