How many pups an otter has depends on the species: * North-American river otters typically have 1-3 pups, and up to 6 at a time. * Eurasian river otters typically have 1-4 pups at a time. * Sea otters normally have only one pup at a time, although twins are not unheard of (however, one of the pups is always abandoned, because an otter mother can only care for one at a time). * Asian small-clawed otters usually have 1-2 pups, but can have up to 4 at a time. * Spotted-necked otters have around 3 pups at a time. * Giant otters normally have 2 pups, but are known to have between 1-5. * Smooth-coated otters, Marine otters, and African clawless otters each typically have 2-5 pups at a time. * Little is known about the hairy-nosed otter, the southern river otter, the neotropical otter, all of which are endangered species.
A sea otter typically bears only one pup at a time. Sometimes a sea otter will have twins; however, in these cases, one of the pups will be abandoned, for a sea-otter mother can care for only one pup at a time.
Sea Otters usually have one pup. In cases where two are produced the outcome is not good. Only about 2% survive.
