Beavers???

I was told they were River Otters, also told there were two placed on Hinkston creek a while back by KDFWR.
The ones I saw the other night were much larger than a mink.

I wasn't able to find a whole lot of info on the web about river otters in KY except to confirm that yes, KDFWR did re-introduce some, starting in 1991. There's been more written about their impact in Missouri. I think it's safe to say, though, that their feeding habits would be pretty much the same here:
