Description
Description

The North American River Otter, Lontra canadensis, is a semiaquatic mammal that is unique to North America along its waterways and coasts; it is also known as the northern river otter or common otter. Protected by a thick, water-repellent coat of fur, the mammal is versatile in both the water and on land. A burrow with many tunnel openings is constructed close to the water’s edge, where female otters give birth. Fish is a favored food among the species, but they will also eat some amphibians (such as salamanders and frogs), fresh water clams, mussels, snails, small turtles, and crayfish.
