Best Answer

The otter is both prey and predator, as it is predator to some animals and yet is prey to others. The otter is predator to fish, eels in particular, but will also eat frogs, small birds, eggs and some small mammals. The otter is prey to sharks, killer whales, bald eagles, bears, coyotes, foxes, and other larger animals. The biggest creature to prey on otters remains man and due to over hunting, many otter species were brought to the brink of extinction during the 18th and 19th century.
