Otters are semiaquatic mammals known for their playful behavior, sleek bodies, and adorable appearance. They belong to the family Mustelidae, which also includes weasels, badgers, and wolverines. There are 13 recognized species of otters, distributed across various regions worldwide, including North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
These charismatic creatures are well-adapted for life in aquatic environments. They have streamlined bodies, webbed feet, and powerful tails, making them excellent swimmers. Otters primarily inhabit freshwater rivers, lakes, and wetlands, although some species can also be found in coastal marine habitats.
