There are many types of river otters. The only way I could answer your question would be if you said which type you were referring to. If you mean the giant river otter, it is threatened by habitat loss and poaching, and fishermen sometimes kill them because they think that the giant river otters are a nuisance. In the past, otter pelts were very valuable, and massive amounts of hunting have decimated populations of many, if not all, species of river otters worldwide.
