The Asian small-clawed otter has a large distribution range, extending from India in South Asia east ward through entire Southeast Asia up to Palawan (Philippines) and Taiwan and southern China in the north (Mason and Macdonald 1986, Wozencraft 1993, Hussain 2000). In recent years, in England it has established itself in the wild after escaping from captivity (Jefferies 1990 and 1991). In India it occurs in the Himalayan foothills of Himachal Pradesh (Kulu), West Bengal, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh as well as in southern Indian hill ranges of Coorg (Karnataka), Ashambu, Nilgiri and Palni hills (Tamil Nadu) and some places in Kerala (Pocock 1941, Prater 1971, Hussain 2000).
