No..They are carnivorous.They eat mainly frogs, fish, and crayfish.
don't forget clams
Otters have strong tails to swim through murky water
Yes, river otters can have symbiotic relationships with various species. For instance, they often coexist with birds, such as herons, which can benefit from the fish disturbed by otters while hunting. Additionally, otters may help control fish populations, indirectly benefiting aquatic plants and other species in their ecosystem. This dynamic highlights the interconnectedness of wildlife in their habitats.
Yes, sea otters have a mutualistic relationship with kelp. Sea otters control sea urchin populations by feeding on them, preventing overgrazing on kelp forests. In return, kelp provides a habitat for sea otters and helps stabilize the marine ecosystem.
There are 13 species of otters.
Over time, the population of the sea otters has decreased and sea otters are now an endangered species. This can be blamed on human activity, as most animal species' endangerments can.
There are 13 different otter species and two varieties of sea otters.
There are otters found in Scotland. It should be noted that they are not technically 'sea' otters as these are a sub species found along the coast of Japan, Canada and USA. Otters found in Scotland are Eurasian or European otters.
Otters belong to the weasel family Mustelidae and are related to the other members of that family, such as weasels, ferrets, and badgers.
How big an otters tail really depends on which species you are referring to. Through the different species, the tails can range anywhere from 30 to 51 cm.
The underwater kelp forests (giant kelp) along the shore provide calmer areas for marine life. This is part of a symbiotic relationship between the kelp and the sea otters that inhabit the area. By consuming the sea urchins that would otherwise destroy the kelp, the sea otters help maintain the complex coastal ecosystem.
No. They are an important native species there.
you can not buy an otter. but you can adopt one from partcipating zoos. also we should not purchase otters because they are an indangered species.
