Five baby Asian Small Claw Otters were transported in an enclosure that did not have the words “Live Animal” or “Wild Animals” with arrows or other markings indicating the correct upright position of the enclosure clearly marked. A lack of clear markings can inhibit correct handling and cage orientation by first responders in the event of an emergency. The licensee must ensure that on top and on one or more sides are marked with the words “Wild Animals” or “Live Animals” in letters at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) high, with arrows or other markings to indicate the correct upright position of the primary enclosure. Correct by 18-September-2023. This inspection and exit interview were conducted with the licensee. This inspection was conducted in Mount hope, Ohio.
