Otters are adorable, playful creatures that inhabit rivers, ponds, wetland habitats and even coastlines. Their powerful, streamlined bodies make them expert swimmers, and they love nothing better than to dive underwater to look for fish.
Otters are mammals that have adapted to a life close to the water. They are the only member of their family, Mustelidae, to spend extended periods in or under water. Other members of their family include weasels, wolverines, and badgers. Carnivorous by nature, their diets include fish and invertebrates.
