These are river otters which live on land. Good thing weather still cool, these guys had setup home under house complete with kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms. Contractor cleaned out bunch of oyster shells, crab shells and such, along with lots of crap under house. Wife has lots of bird feeders in back yard, contractor said he found lots of bird remains under house.
Come summer time the stink would have been BAD.
For being destructive they dug under foundation, also ripped insulation down to build nests.
