And now for the #zooarchaeology of the sea otter! Thread by #WLCrittersClass student Keane C. #2023MMM
1/? #WLCrittersClass #2023MMM
Sea otters are a member of the Mustelidae family, and the only mammal that gives birth underwater. I’m going to focus on their history, ecological importance, and what we know about them due to archaeology, mainly from Alaskan indigenous Nations.
#WLCrittersClass #2023MMM
Sea Otters were endangered for a long time because they were overhunted in the 18th-20th centuries for their pelts. By 1911, sea otters were extinct from Oregon; their population was believed to be ~1500 in the world. (U.S Government 2017).

Tonight's hurlyburly is writ in part from the dubious knowledge from Edward Topsell's History of Four-Foot'd Beasts (1607) & History of Serpents (1608) for 1658's then definitive 1000-page barn-burner of a natural history compendium #YeOldeTimeyBattle #ExhibitionGames #2022MMM Cover page of The History of Four Footed Beasts and Serpents
Topsell collected writings from Conradus Gesner & other authors to integrate & evaluate many terms & descriptions, at times appropriately skeptical but also at times overly credulous #YeOldeTimeyBattle #2022MMM loc.gov/resource/rbcto…
Although Topsell's Beastiary was not as systematic as the Bauhin brothers a hundred years before or Linnaeus a hundred years later... #YeOldeTimeBattle #2022MMM
