What is an Otter?

An otter is a clever and playful mammal that loves water. Otters have long, slim bodies, strong tails, and webbed feet that help them swim fast in rivers, lakes, or oceans. They have thick fur that keeps them warm, and they spend lots of time grooming to stay dry and fluffy. Otters eat fish, crabs, and small animals they catch underwater. They are known for floating on their backs and sometimes holding hands while they nap. River otters often chirp or whistle, while sea otters can squeak or coo. They live in dens along riverbanks or kelp forests near the coast, depending on the species. Otters are social, smart, and full of energy.
