A Playful River Otter

Typically River Otters are rather shy, this one though played on the rocks right in front of me for nearly 20 minutes. They can grow to 1.4 meters long and weigh about 13.5 kilograms. They have the longest lasting fur of the entire Otter / Weasel family.

  1. I’ve seen otters here twice. One time they played around under the cabin for about half an hour. I tried to figure out where they would exit but missed getting a good picture of them. – Margy

    • They’re quite shy, hard to photograph.
