Table 5
Daily intake of gross energy in eight captive North American river otters (Lontra canadensis) held at three North Carolina institutions.
| | Institution | Gross energy intake (kcal/day) | Gross energy intake (kcal/kgBM0.75/day) | | Median | Range | Median | Range |
| | Institution A (n = 3) | 645.3 | 435.5–793.8 | 154.5 | 92.2–171.7 | | Institution B (n = 3) | 1073.2 | 949.4–1195.9 | 228.5 | 173.5–260.7 | | Institution C (n = 2) | 645.1 | 600.5–689.8 | 144.2 | 141.4–146.9 |
