Possibilities of distant diagnostics of large-size semiaquatic mammals, known in the mammal fauna of Ukraine. This group includes four species: otter, beaver, coypu, and muskrat. Set of 11 morphological characters that allows to identify species during distant census of fauna is established and described. In many cases, identification is possible using photos including photos with low quality. These set of characters was tested as in the field condition as during overview of large numbers of photos and video-clips with these animals.
