Family of otters........
Otters have long, slim bodies and relatively short limbs, with webbed paws. Most have sharp claws on their feet, and all have long muscular tails.
They have a very soft underfur which is protected by their outer layer of long guard hair. This traps a layer of air, and keeps them dry and warm under water.
Most otters have fish as the primary item in their diet, supplemented by frogs, crayfish and crabs. Some are expert at opening shellfish, and others will take any available small mammals or birds.
Otters are playful animals, for example sliding repeatedly down snowy slopes, apparently from sheer enjoyment.

How wonderful!!!!! I saw my first otter at the marsh near my home just last week!!!! He was so fun to watch, I completely forgot I had my camera with me!!!!!!! He was ‘playing’ with a muskrat who was running along the side of the bank – the muskrat was not amused and had the most pitiful whine!!!!! The otter finally got bored with him and swam away!!! I had never seen anything quite like it!!!!! They certainly are little comedians – full of life and fun!!!!!
jdmphotography replied
Yes I love the otter so playfuland full of fun ! What a lovely story Lorilee wish I was there to see that ! ...... Thanks so much ! ......... (-;
