Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
It is not I suppose, in any way strange that the average Londoner should not recognise an otter, but the variety of guesses as to what kind of animal this might come as a surprise to me. Otters belong to a comparatively small group of animals called Mussel lines, shared by the badger, mongoose, weasel, stoat, mink and others. I faced a continuous barrage of conjectural questions that sprayed all the Mussel lines but the otter, more random guesses hit on a baby seal and a squirrel. 'Is that a walrus mister?" reduced me to goggles, and outside a dog show I heard a hippo, a beaver, a bear cub, a leopard-one, apparently, that had changed its spots-and a brontosaur : Mij was anything but an otter.
