North American river otter
Range and habitat
River otters are found throughout most of North America from the Rio Grande to Canada and Alaska. They live in aquatic habitats—marine and freshwater—such as streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, swamps, and marshes.
Interesting info
Communicating in a variety of ways, they vocalize with whistles, chirps, growls, chuckles, and screams. They also scent mark and use posture and touch.
Well adapted for spending much of their lives in the water, North American river otters have long, streamlined bodies, a long, powerful tail, webbed feet, dense insulating fur, sensitive whiskers that help with hunting aquatic prey, and a third eyelid that enables underwater vision.
