Best Answer

All species in Lutrinae, the otter subfamily, are carnivores. The diet of any given species of otter consists almost entirely of seafood, especially fish and crustaceans. Some otters (excluding the sea otter) sometimes also eat small mammels, but no species of otter includes vegetation as a significant part of its diet.
