River Otter Lutra canadensis River Otter Tracks Click here for the River Otter Photo Gallery and videos Natural History of River Otters River otters are playful members of the weasel family who love to frolic in the water. They are common in rivers and are a joy to watch. Otters can remain submerged for several minutes. They have valved ears and noses to keep water out. The fur is warm and thick. Since they spend a significant amount of time in the water, their tracks aren't often found. The best places to look for tracks are muddy river banks. They have five toes on the front feet and five toes on the hind feet. Their toes are partially webbed, which helps them swim. Tracks in mud sometimes show this webbing. The claw marks are so close to the toes, they give the toes a characteristic pointed appearance. Otters are well-known for their intelligence and their playful antics. They are excellent fishers, but also will eat small mammals, fish, shellfish, snakes, turtles, birds, eggs, amphibians, and lampreys. They feed primarily on amphibians and will range up to five miles up and down-river each day while hunting. The tail drag is sometimes visible in an otter trail. Often, their prints are found in groups of four.

In winter, when an otter's den or nest freezes over, the otter will look for a new river to live in. Otters like to splash, wrestle, and play in the shallow parts of the river. Otters hunt in water and on land, but they spend most of the rest of their time in the water. Otters are fierce hunters. Otters are nocturnal animals, so they always hunt at night. Females and males mate in the summer and work hard to teach their babies. Otters can stay under water for up to six minutes by closing their nostrils. Eating Habits From the water, otters eat squid, mussels, sea worms, octopi, shellfish, frogs, turtles, and small fish. From land, they eat small birds, insects, eggs, snails, snakes, rabbits, muskrats, and other small mammals.

THE SEA OTTER Sea otters are found in the ocean and are rarely seen on land. Sea otters have paddle-shaped hind legs. Sea otters dive to the ocean floor for food. They use their hands to feel for the food . Sea otters eat a wide variety of seafood. The sea otter sleeps, grooms, hunts, gives birth, rests and plays in the ocean. Sea otters spend alot of time floating on their backs. The mother carries her pup on her stomach . The baby is not able to dive until it is nearly 2 months old. If the sea otter's fur becomes covered with oil, it will not be able to float and keep warm. RIVER OTTER A family of river otters may include 3 or 4 young, while the sea otter usually has a single pup, born in the water. The river otter makes a tunnel into the side of a river bank. At the end of the tunnel is a den lined with grass. A river otter's tail is much longer than the sea otter's . The tail is about 2/3 the length of its head and body. River otters do not float on their backs. River otters swim in rivers, streams, and oceans. They often come on shore.

It is the official otternet. North American river otters once lived throughout North America. http://www.otternet.com/species/naotter.htm

Home Links Species Habitat ... Kids Species Profile: The North American River Otter Lutra canadensis The North American River Otter is problably the most numerous otter species. They exhibit delayed implantation with breeding in March-April and birth in late winter/early spring. Fossils of North American River Otters have dated back to the Pleistocene period and archeological remains have been uncovered from 200 B.C. to the mid-1400s. North American River Otters once lived throughout North America. Native Americans hunted otters largely for their dense fur which allowed them to keep warm. When European settlers arrived and started developing the land (cutting down forests) and using farm pesticides and fertilizers, the otter habitat became threatening. By the early 1980s, eleven states reported no otter population and thirteen other states reported scarce numbers. As a result, numerous reintroduction programs were established to repopulate many of these areas. By late 1990s, many of these programs had successes with a dramatic improvement in returning otters to their original range.
