Genus of carnivores
Lutrogale was proposed as generic name by John Edward Gray in 1865 for otters with a convex forehead and nose, using the smooth-coated otter L. perspicillata as type species.[1]
The genus also contains the following extinct and fossil species:
- L. cretensis – Cretan otter[2]
- L. palaeoleptonyx[3]
- L. robusta[3]
