Seven Interesting Facts About Otters

1. The average otter can hold their breath for 7 minutes.
2. Otter have specially adapted lens, which enables them to focus underwater.  Have you tried opening your eyes underwater?  What a difference a pair of goggles makes.  They also have skin flaps to help them keep out the water when they dive to depths of around 30ft.
3. There are interesting and unusual names associated with otters, for example their lair is a 'Holt' and a family of Otters are known as a 'Romp'.  A bunch floating in a group is called a 'Raft otters'.
4. As with humans, old otters have white whiskers.
5. Those that study otters say that they carry around the same stone.  Moreover, they are one of only a few tool-using mammals.
6. You may think that they keep warm with blubber like seals, but no, otters insulate themselves against the cold with hair.
7. Another interesting fact about otters is that they have slightly webbed feet, which makes them easy to track.

Otter Natural History

While otters live in water, they are mammals with fur and not reptiles with scales.  One surprise is that they are meat eaters, however fishermen know that otters can ruin their prospects of a fish supper.  Otters also eat frogs newts and in hard times, crabs and shellfish.

There are about a dozen distinct species of otter, their habitats vary from Canada to South America, and from Europe to Asia.  Most otters live in rivers, but an exception is the sea otter of North Pacific.  (Picture of sea otter floating to the right)
