Otters

Otters are semi-aquatic mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae, known for their playful behavior and sleek bodies. They have streamlined shapes, dense fur for insulation, and webbed feet that help them swim efficiently. Otters are excellent swimmers, diving to catch fish, invertebrates, and other small prey. They are social animals, often living in groups, and are important indicators of healthy aquatic ecosystems. Found in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas worldwide, otters play a vital role in maintaining balanced environments. Their charming behavior and ecological importance make them fascinating subjects of conservation efforts.
