Otters



Otters eat fish and are superb swimmers and divers. As you can see in the picture that is to your right, they have a long tail and a whiskery face. They spend much of their life in the water, moving their powerful webbed hind feet and tail to travel through either the river, or the sea.

Otters can close their small ears and nostrils when underwater to stop the water getting through. Their flattened heads, streamlined bodies and waterproof coa allows them to move quickly through the water.

The males called meowters, the females queens and the babies are pups. The otter is related to the weasel.
